PGA National Poland debuts in Golf World’s Top 100 Resorts

Modry Las Golf Resort has received recognition from one of Europe’s foremost golf publications, teeing up what is anticipated to be an upbeat 2021.

After an unprecedented year, Modry Las is looking forward to a new golfing season following a string of exciting developments at Poland’s only signature-designed golf course. 

As well as receiving its PGA National status and revealing a new clubhouse, the 27-hole facility has been named in Golf World’s latest rundown of top resorts in continental Europe, alongside some of the world’s top golf destinations.

The inaugural listing included a glowing review that described the Gary Player designed-course as ‘fabulous’ and ‘elegant’.

One of 11 new entries, Modry Las was noted as having ‘flair and imagination,’ with the renowned publication praising the ‘unfussy course chalets which offer a view of the manicured fairways and greens as soon as you pull back the curtains in the morning’.

Crucially, the analysis suggested Modry Las would appeal to golfers looking for ‘a high-calibre modern course in fabulous condition’.

Modry Las also fought off competition from around Europe to be named in the top three resorts for value – a remarkable achievement in its first listing.

Arthur Gromadzki, Chairman of Modry Las, commented: “Golf World’s Top 100 Resorts celebrates the very best golf destinations in Europe where the highest service standards and facilities are matched by exceptional on-course experiences.

“These attributes perfectly align themselves with the ethos adopted at Modry Las. It is therefore, especially gratifying to be recognised as one of Europe’s leading golf resorts by one of its foremost magazines. Saying that, Modry Las is constantly moving forward and will continue to devise ways to finesse what we do.

“Our inclusion in Golf World’s Top 100 Resorts of Continental Europe and the appreciation for the great value we provide validates our endeavours which have already led to our PGA National status and recognition from the golf industry at the highest level.”

Gromadzki recently appointed Chris Duffy as general manager at Modry Las. With a wealth of golf club management experience honed in the UK and Qatar, Duffy was the ideal candidate for the role.

“Chris is well known in the golfing world and brings a wealth of industry knowledge to Modry Las,” explained Gromadzki. “His role at Modry Las marks the next stage in the evolution of the resort.”

Educated to a high level via the Club Managers Association of Europe’s training programme, Duffy also developed his skillset through his own events company working with clients such as Mercedes Benz, BMW and Qatar Airways. He also held managerial posts at Doha Golf Club and most recently Huddersfield Golf Club.

“The opportunity to work with the team at Modry Las came at an ideal moment in my career,” explained Duffy. “The resort’s international reputation made it an unmissable opportunity to apply the knowledge and experiences that I have been fortunate enough to amass at multiple venues.

“The team here is fantastic and the courses are stunning. When I first visited Modry Las I was stunned by the quality of the courses and the new facilities which will only get better as we get further into the season. It’s going to be an exciting year and I’m looking forward to what lies ahead.”
