Technical note
The golf course has grass that has been transported into the region. It is Seashore Paspalum Salam Var' grass type, which can withstand brackish water for up to 8,000 ppm (salts). This particular grass was chosen as it is environmentally friendly. It requires less water, reduced fertilisation and pesticide applications and delivers a great surface for playing golf on.
All the piping used for irrigation has been underlain and has been produced by the resort's own recycling plant utilising discarded plastics from the hotels. The water in the lakes is treated wastewater filtered and cleaned at the resort's own water plant and mixed with fresh water drawn from deep natural desert wells.
