Las Olas Ecuador is nearing completion of layout and shaping of the back nine of Ceibo Valley golf course which is located in the valley closest to the ocean. Once completed Las Olas will commence with the installation of the irrigation system followed by the planting of grass on the fairways and green complexes starting with the three holes located closest to the ocean.
We recently added four new members to our golf construction team and we will be introducing to you shortly. The addition of these highly skilled and experienced professionals will help ensure that Ceibo Valley Golf Course enjoys the lofty reputation that we expect it to have.
Part of the design process includes testing the course using multiple players with an array of skill levels to ensure that the course is both challenging for the more seasoned players and has just the right balance of challenge enjoyable for everyone else. Players hit multiple balls from every tee box with the landing of each ball carefully reviewed with the objective of determining the ideal width of each fairway, the best position to locate bunkers and hazards.
