The Project envisages the construction of state of the art sports complexes which include international standard facilities comprising of a PGA approved 18-hole golf course, PGA Golf Academy, sports clubs, clinics and other academies, as well as residential, commercial, and leisure facilities along with necessary infrastructural support.
