Golf enthusiasts looking for a little sun and sea on the
side will be in for a treat when the world’s first floating course opens in
the Maldives.

Located five minutes from the Maldives
airport, the 18-hole golf course will include luxe accommodation overlooking
the green fairways and surrounding beaches. Underwater glass tunnels will serve
as linkages between the holes and various facilities, while allowing golfers a
fish-eye’s view of the island nation’s glittering reefs. The artificial
floating islands will also incorporate cutting-edge green technologies such as
water cooling, water desalination and the use of floating solar blanket
fields.

Developed by Dutch Docklands and designed through
a collaboration between golf course developer Troon Golf and Waterstudio.NL,
the zero-footprint solar-powered golf course will be one of the first
floating developments of its kind, and is expected to bring in a wave of new
tourists.
