Antigua, in neighboring Alotenango. It enjoys a spectacular location, nestled amid the coffee trees, flowers and hills of a former plantation on gently rolling volcanic slopes descending to Guatemala’s Pacific coast. On a clear day, you can see the nearby coastal town of Escuintla and the Pacific Ocean. But on any given day, it’s hard to ignore the four sentinel volcanoes that give this property some of the most amazing views anywhere. Fuego Maya (Mayan Fire) at La Reunion is an 18-hole golf course designed by the legendary golf architect Pete Dye, with his son Perry Dye as co designer. Both Dyes stated that the Antigua area is one of the most fascinating places at which they’ve worked. Fuego Maya (72-par, 7,560-yard course) is one of the country’s most challenging golf courses and is the only golf course in the

world with a view of four volcanoes. Pete and Perry Dye gleaned inspiration from the Mayan Solar Calendar, which consists of 18 twenty-day months. Each of the course’s 18 holes is named after its corresponding month on the Mayan calendar. The 19th month, Wayeb, is a five-day month dedicated to rest and contemplation and so makes a fitting name for the bar and restaurant. Facilities include a driving range, putting green, chipping green, practice bunker, and pro shop. Incidentally, Perry Dye spent the last days of 2009 on vacation at the resort with his family and nailed a 178-yard hole-in-one on the course’s 12th hole. Fuego Maya Golf Course is all you can handle. Fortunately, there are four sets of tees, as short as 5,578 yards, so if you’re not a near scratch player, stay away from the tips if you want to shoot

萨迪亚特岛是中东地区最大的项目之一。它是一个耗资270亿 美元的综合体,其中建有五星级酒店、住宅区、娱乐综合体、 商业区与一个世界级文化中心(以毕尔巴鄂古根海姆博物馆与 卢浮宫博物馆著称)。加里·普莱尔设计事务所接受阿布扎比 市皇家委任,在设计过程中注重保护当地的生态系统。这个高 尔夫球场于2010年初开始运营,靠近美丽的阿拉伯海湾蓝色水 域,这里还生活着受政府保护的玳瑁。尽管部分球洞被设计在 白色沙滩上,但设计已考虑到保护这些动物的重要性并实施了 相关措施。除了保护这些水生生态系统,这个海滩高尔夫球场 的设计也与海岸线的自然元素相融合。从技术的角度来讲,硬 性灌溉系统、感知盐度与湿度的土壤传感器,以及污水处理减 少了淡水污染。这是一个沙漠中的环保绿洲。

areas were built to direct runoff away from the lakes and keep nutrients used on the golf course from directly entering the ground water aquifer. The water for irrigation drawn from the aquifer was kept to a minimum as result of having only seventy acres of turf irrigated and the remaining “play” areas planted with drought tolerant native grasses that also help to define and frame each hole. Native coquina (shell rock) was used in the “waste areas” to define the strategy of the holes and further reduce the irrigated turf area. The landscape palette is 100% native to this region and requires no irrigation once established. The owners of Juliette Falls are avid golfers and therefore had clear goals and objectives for the course. They wanted a golf course that would challenge the best PGA Tour players from the back tees but also a course that all golfers can enjoy from their respective tee positions. The course is designed with wide fairway landing areas that are broken up with strategically placed bunkers. This gives the golfer a sense of openness but at the same time a “preferred” position in the fairway to approach the green. The result of the design and construction teams’ effort is a strategically designed golf course that utilizes minimal ground water, tests the top players on the PGA Tour and is enjoyable for all skill levels. Long par 3 hole 7 over water with large water fall right of green 长长的第7洞3杆洞,果岭右侧是一条大瀑布 Hole 16 - par 3 with a long waste bunker setting up the left to right tee shot  第16洞3杆洞,长长的荒地沙坑形成了从左向右的开球台
