holes of each nine. A total of about 450,000 cubic metres was moved.
Drainage - what system has been installed for drainage and irrigation?
The entire estate area is intensively drained, and the system was designed and installed by Dom Weeks, the Civil project manager. All rainwater is collected and reused.
The golf course is totally drained with a widespread system of catch basins and underground drainage. There is a fully automatic Toro irrigation system, designed and installed by our golf project managers.
Climate - how does the weather affect the maintenance programme?
Not that much. The climate is tropical but not extreme. The course is entirely planted with Bermuda turf grasses which thrive on sun and water. Since we have full availability of both all year round, the courses should always be in excellent condition.
Are there any insects, soil parasites or diseases indigenous to Kenya?
Quite a few, but nothing out of the ordinary that cannot be controlled with environmentally acceptable commercial products.
Are there any training or practice facilities planned?
Yes, there is a huge practice range 100m x 300m, with a full array of facilities. There are two practice putting greens. There will be a fully qualified Kenyan teaching professional, and there will be training programmes for local youngsters to introduce them to the game.
Are the plans for the second Course going ahead?
The design for the second course has already been planned. It will be very different in look and theme, but will be equally enjoyable and exciting - lots of water, lots of natural features … the rest is a secret for now. Watch this space!
