Whatever the sport...
on hole 6 (the cables currently run along the fairway line).
The clubhouse has been designed by RRA with MBC&SSA and they have produced a stunning contemporary design, plus driving range building. Work is set to begin on the clubhouse construction after the electric cables have been removed. RRA and MBC&SSA are currently preparing the design for the technical facility
(greenkeepers compound), which is scheduled to be built and operational as soon as possible after the seed has been sown.
Site clearance and
earthworks have been done by Houar from Meknes, drainage by SCET-SCOM and the irrigation system will be supplied by Toro and installed by Valmont - the biggest golf contractor in Morocco. The system design was provided by Lorenzo Simoni of Paneta S.R.L. in Italy.
We believe strongly that, when working in overseas locations, local contractors should be used - which benefits the local economy and works out considerably more economical for the client.
Remarkably, the drainage and irrigation installation is being done by teams of more than 50 men, many of whom live in shelters and tents on site. Much of the trenchwork is done by hand, using picks and shovels.
The project has ended up being multi-national: the
Finishing works are being undertaken by Valmont and they are contracted to provide maintenance for one year from completion of the golf course. Seeding of the holes north of the Oued Fes - 1 to 10 and 15 to 18, the driving range, practice putting and chipping greens - is set to be completed by November 2009. The seeding of holes 11 to 14 is scheduled to be undertaken between May and September 2010. I will continue to undertake site inspection visits to Royal Oued Fes until all construction works are completed in mid-2010. On the basis that we established a good working relationship with the MEDZ team, in 2007 we were appointed to produce the design for the next MEDZ golf resort - Tamuda Hills, near to Tetouan - on the stunningly beautiful Mediterranean coast of Northern Morocco. We have completed the design work and await the go-ahead from the client to begin construction works in Autumn 2009.
