The golf course is surrounded by natural elements such as trees and orange groves, which provide not only visual and sensory enjoyment, but also numerous ecological benefits, making it a harmonious blend of recreation and conservation. In addition, the integration of orange groves into a golf course can support local biodiversity. Birds, bees and other pollinators are attracted to the flowers, contributing to the health of the ecosystem. In addition, the golf course serves as a community hub, providing recreational opportunities and educational programmes on sustainability and conservation efforts such as reducing chemical use and preserving native vegetation, further contributing to the ecological balance. I look forward to seeing further progress in these areas over the coming years as the course continues to be a model of environmental responsibility and community involvement.
