Muscat Golf Course Project is taking shape

Six months on from the groundbreaking, the 18-hole Muscat Golf Course Project is taking shape with significant progress clearly visible on the course layout.

Project Managers, Laing Oman, part of the worldwide company, Laing O'Rourke, are fully moving ahead with the project, which continues to aim for completion before the end of 2006.

Operating alongside the UK's leading golf course construction company, Southern Golf, the project leaders are working on the final shaping of greens and bunkers, using equipment provided by Arabian Projects.

Mohammad Suleiman Al Wahaibi, personal representative to Sayyid Kais Bin Tarik Al Said, who is Promoter of the project, said, "We have all been eagerly awaiting the shaping of the course. Now that this is under way, it allows us to see our long-awaited vision quickly turning into reality."

The Golf Course is an integral part of the larger Muscat Golf Course Project (MGCP). Earthworks to produce building platform levels and road profiles are under way with tenders now issued for the construction of villas, apartments and irrigation installation.

The Muscat Golf Course Project is a Ministry of Tourism endorsed site, aiming to attract international tourism and investment into Oman.

Close to Muscat's Al Seeb International Airport, the Project is already attracting a huge amount of interest from the overseas golfing market.
