Chocolate Drop: Sir Nicholas of Arabia
Courses and Architecture
Golf Course Architecture has a story on Faldo Design's new course in Qiddiya City, Saudi Arabia. Funded by the Kingdom's Public Investment Fund (the same source of support behind LIV Golf), Qiddiya is a planned entertainment and tourism capital located in the raw desert outside of Riyadh. In addition to a Nick Faldo-designed golf course, the city will boast a Formula 1-quality race track, a Six Flags theme park, and a Dragon Ball theme park—whatever that might be.
The Kingdom's effort to attract international tourists to attractions like Qiddiya City—and its associated golf offerings—is the real reason LIV Golf exists, by the way. And will likely continue to exist until Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030" program starts to produce results.
This video about Faldo's course, posted on the "Sir Nick Faldo" YouTube channel, is full of exactly the kind of unintentional comedy that can help get us through hard, weird times.
