Golf club “Mikhailovka”

Golf club “Mikhailovka”

An ambitious golf club project, «Mikhailovka – Peterhof Lakes Course», located near Peterhof, in the Petrodvorets district of St. Petersburg.

The club is set to become the largest golf club in Russia, intended, among other things, for international competitions. Situated in the picturesque Petrodvorets district of St. Petersburg, in close proximity to the renowned tourist gem, Peterhof, this project will unite sport, natural beauty, history, and refined leisure.

Scale and Infrastructure

A multifunctional complex will be created on a territory of approximately 130 hectares, including:

  • A large-scale 18-hole golf course (72 ha): designed to the highest international standards, ideally suited for both training and hosting world-class tournaments.
  • An elegant clubhouse: the heart of the golf club, offering a full range of services.
  • A modern apart-hotel: for the comfortable accommodation of club members and guests.
  • Spacious parking areas.
  • A unique “French” formal park.

Architectural Dominant: The Clubhouse

The clubhouse building is the architectural dominant of the project, harmoniously integrated into the landscape. Strategically located between the 1st, 9th, and final 18th holes, it faces them with a sloping green roof that serves as a unique grandstand for spectators, offering panoramic views of the playing fields. Beneath this innovative roof, a hidden, convenient, and spacious parking lot for 200 cars is provided.

Harmony of Two Parks: “French” and “English”

The project’s concept is unique due to the creation of two contrasting yet complementary park areas:

  • An exquisite “French” formal park: A lower, artificially created flat park, situated between the clubhouse facade with restaurants and a picturesque stream. It serves as an ideal place for peaceful relaxation and strolls, and its classical aesthetics reference the famous palace and park ensembles of Peterhof, creating an atmosphere of grandeur and tranquility.
  • A dynamic “English” golf course: Hilly, naturally integrated into the landscape, it is designed for active golf play.

The Clubhouse as a Connecting Link

The golf club building itself acts as an elegant “bridge” that functionally and aesthetically connects the dynamism of the golf course and the tranquility of the French park. Inside are restaurants with panoramic views, a modern sports and wellness complex, a multifunctional conference hall, an art gallery, and exclusive club apartments, ensuring the highest level of comfort and service.
