01The estate

Heath · Pine · Reservoir · Beach

Morrow is as much nature reserve as golf course. Two thirds of the estate will never be mown.

The course was threaded through the landscape rather than laid over it. The heath has been restored, the pines left standing, the reservoir kept wild and the dunes allowed to move the way dunes do.

02Lifestyle & nature

Golf is only half the day.

Swim in the reservoir before breakfast, run thirty kilometres of trail through the pines, or take the boardwalk down to a beach you'll probably have to yourself. The estate is as much nature reserve as golf course.
