Tim Lobb reports on the TPL site visit to El Ein Bay on The Red Sea in Egypt where TPL are currently building an 18 hole resort style golf course.

Construction progress has been steady over the last year on the resort style golf course that we have designed and are now building at El Ein Bay. We have 11 holes shaped, drained and irrigated.

We are now applying sandcap and will start grassing the course in the coming days.

Please see below construction photos taken by Tim Lobb during this week (1-4 March, 2010) onsite at El Ein Bay.

Even Tim is allowed to play some shots. Pulled it left into the lake, well the liner anway

Look forward to keeping our readers updated on this course and the progress that we are achieving. Looking forward to seeing some grass down.
