A view from the clubhouse to the South East
Proposed site for green 9. City of Tbilisi below and Caucasus mountains behind
Natural terrain on hole 16
The property is on a high hillside above Tbilisi. It offers breath-taking views of the city and beyond, all the way to the snow-capped Caucasus Mountains. During the last three holes the medieval Orthodox Shavnabada Monastery on the opposite mountain will dominate the vista.
There are large elevation changes within the property, too. The lowest and highest greens will have nearly 130 metres between them. However, golfers will move up and down the course gradually, not one hole will have an exorbitant elevation change either up or down. The nearby landscape will be dominated by areas of planted pines, as well as steep and treeless ravines.
The design has kept the young golf culture of the country in mind. Four sets of tees will offer a substantially different length challenge starting from 4,600 metres and stretching to 6,300 metres. There will be no forced carries, thus a short driver of the ball will have no problem playing. Golf balls straying from the fairways will be found due to naturally low-growing grass cover.
Experienced players will be challenged by occasionally narrow fairways and by sloped greens. Strategically placed bunkers will demand course management skills. The shaping of the fairways will follow the existing land; therefore, no large-scale cut and fill work will be needed.
Tbilisi climate allows almost year-round play. Only in the dead of winter, from December to February is the average daily temperature below 10 degrees Celsius. The best time for golf is in the spring and autumn.
More construction will follow the golf course. Eventually the Primera area will have hundreds of homes. The golf course will also have a driving range and a short game practice area. The golf construction has begun and the 18-holes will be completed during 2017.
