Ras Al Khaimah’s Rakeen developer has teamed up with Swiss firm Harradine Golf to design and build an 18-hole golf course near the Georgian capital of Tbilisi.
Harradine has designed courses all over the world, including, recently, the Al Hamra Golf project in Ras Al Khaimah, which inspired Rakeen and Harradine to team up for the new development near the village of Mukhrovani.
"This partnership with one of the most reputable architects in the field of golf courses is an extremely promising step for this project. We are excited to work with such remarkable specialists and look forward to receiving their proposal in March 2010,” said Rakeen executive chairman Khater Massaad.
Massad went on to explain that Rakeen expected to start construction on the project in April, with the course opening its gates to the public as soon as March 2011.
“We strongly believe in the potential of Georgia as an investment destination and are very active there with Uptown Tbilisi, the first retail destination in Tbilisi, and other developments under way.
"Mukhrovany Golf Village will be a unique destination for golfing and other leisure activities. The Village will start with the golf course, with a five-star hotel, villas and apartments to follow in future.
“We trust that this beautiful project will enrich Mukhrovany's and Tbilisi's communities and instigate further investment into Georgia for a sustainable development of this wonderful country."
