Very experienced and brilliant Head of Macorp, Guillermo Escarraga has continued the legacy of Macorp in being of fantastic support to the development of the Lusignan Golf Club and in fact has initiated a complete driving range with lighting facilities to facilitate driving practice even after hours, which is soon to be opened to golfers.
