Wyboston Lakes, on the border of Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire, has introduced online accommodation booking for business and leisure travellers.
This included construction of new tee boxes on the 1st and 10th holes and the creation of one of the largest bunkers in the area surrounding the 18th green.
Leisure services manager Dave Little commented: "Much of the work we have done will ensure that both lower handicap golfers and the social players find the course more challenging and rewarding, for example, we have reshaped some of the fairways to improve the approach to several of the holes and we have planted hundreds of semi-mature trees, whips, and small firs as part of the long term improvements to the course.
"We have also made considerable improvements to the existing tee boxes by moving them to bring more water into play, again providing a greater challenge for golfers.

The second stage of a major refurbishment to the bedrooms at the Waterfront Centre, Wyboston Lakes, has now been completed.
"With water being a prominent feature at Wyboston Lakes, many of the banks have been landscaped right to the water's edge, creating a Floridian feel to the course".
Further improvements to the facilities included the construction of new changing rooms and the pro shop in 2004.
The shop has the most up-to-date computerised swing scanning technology to assist the three resident golf professionals headed by Paul Ashwell, England Junior Lead Coach, in helping players improve their game.
The course also offers 'Super Senior' tees allowing golfers the chance to test their skill and enjoy their golf without the concern of long distance holes.
Little continued: "As well as our 'pay and play' customers and season ticket holders, we entertain more than 350 golf societies and corporate days at Wyboston Lakes.
"It's vitally important to us that we continue to provide the best golfing facilities in the area to keep our loyal customers happy.
"With this in mind, the company has also made a significant investment into its welcoming 19th hole, The Waterfront Brasserie, which was awarded "Clubhouse of the Year" by Club Mirror Awards in 2006.
"Golfers can enjoy superb food here all day with panoramic views over the lakes and golf course.
"With all of the recent improvements to the course and surrounding facilities, Wyboston Lakes has refurbished its ensuite accommodation and launched a number of Golf Break packages, which allow golfers from across the country the opportunity to experience the warm welcome, excellent food and superb facilities that have made this venue so popular with locals.".
