HARRINGTON SET TO FINALIZE PLANS FOR A NORTH AMERICAN RESIDENCE
An 'Irish Welcome' Awaits Open Champion in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Tryon, NC - Padraig Harrington, the 2007 and 2008 Champion Golfer of the Year, will soon be visiting White Oak, a golf and equestrian community in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Known for its Irish-focused culture and amenities, White Oak Golf & Equestrian Community in Western North Carolina will serve as a North American residence for Harrington, who is a native of Ireland. Fresh off his second-straight British Open victory, Harrington will be on-property mid-August to finalize the plans for his new home.
White Oak Golf & Equestrian Community is a 1,100 acre pristine development rich in amenities and a deep appreciation for the Irish way of life. White Oak showcases an unprecedented combination of lifestyle features, including an in-community Arnold Palmer-designed golf course, world class equestrian facilities designed by Olympic gold medalist Captain Mark Phillips, a private vineyard, a celestial observatory and an authentic Irish pub Ñ all in the tranquil foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, strategically located between Charlotte and Atlanta.
White Oak Golf & Equestrian Community draws from its developers' distinctively Irish heritage - a community rich in Old World culture, state-of-the-art amenities and natural beauty. From the indigenous-stone Irish architecture, to the 71-par Arnold Palmer Championship golf course, to the riding and hiking trails winding through lakes and meadows of the Blue Ridge Mountain foothills, White Oak is a return to life on the land.
"White Oak is one of the most amazing and unique places I've ever set eyes upon," said Harrington. "The way they've blended modern day amenities with an appreciation for traditional Irish culture is phenomenal. This place really feels like home. I can't think of a better place for my family to base ourselves and enjoy life while in North America."
The Golf Course at White Oak is set to open in Spring 2009, with 9 holes completed and open for limited play in Fall 2008.
