Justin Timberlake - Timberlake Relaunches Luxury Green Golf Resort

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE has reopened his eco-friendly golf resort in Tennessee after spending a fortune to make it an all-green haven.

The pop star closed down the luxury Mirimichi retreat in his native Memphis in January (10) and set about improving the course's greens, bunkers and irrigation systems, and expanding the area's wetlands, wildflowers and native grasses. He relaunched the venue on Monday (06Sep10).

Taking to his Twitter.com blog, he writes, "Just cut the ribbon for the new Mirimichi Performance Center! It looks incredible..."

And Timberlake has his honour from the Gold Environment Organization (GEO) proudly on display after Mirimichi was recognised as the first green golf course in the Americas in April (10).

He adds, "Also, just received the GEO Award for 1st certified "green" golf course! Pretty damn cool."

The SexyBack hitmaker and his family bought the former Big Creek Golf Course in 2007 and previously spent $16 million (£10.7 million) renovating the 18 holes.
