A golf course project, to be developed on the Croatian Adriatic coast, has received the green light from the local authorities.
The Umag City Council has unanimously passed a decision on adoption of the Urban Plan of the Stancija Grande golf course. The initiative for the preparation of this document started yet in 2012, but the process stalled because of adjustments with the County Spatial Plan, and during that time the project was at a standstill, explained Vladimir Jakovac, Head of the Physical Planning and Environment Department of the City of Umag.
Stancija Grande is a project involving construction of an 18-hole golf course and a 200-bed high class hotel. The golf course will be equipped with service facilities, public green spaces, landscaped and a natural beach, public roads and pedestrian areas, Glas Istre reports.
The central part of the space will be occupied by Cesare Villa, a historic building which is set to be converted into a hotel with a maximum of 20 beds and minimum four stars.
The project master plan has been developed by Olazabal Design, headed by the Spanish golf star Jose Maria Olazabal, based on an order by Croatian hotel company Adris Group.
