Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the potential challenges of golf courses neighboring residential areas, suggesting that "holes with homes on each side, out of bounds gardens waiting to snaffle up the slightest mistake, are rarely the best places to enjoy a relaxing game of golf." Profiles Riffa Views, "Bahrain's first integrated golf and housing development." States that "the course has been given room to breathe." Notes that "building golf in the desert heat of the Middle East is a challenge at the best of times. But with the scale of construction going on at Riffa it is far, tougher." Describes the course design, explaining that "complicated contours are a feature of many of [the] greens at Riffa. There are ledges, ridges and humps aplenty, appropriately reaching an apogee at the home hole, a long par four with water all up the right side." |
