The sod was turned yesterday for the construction of the Timehri Sands Golf Course and Country Club on some 71.5 acres of land at Hyde Park, Timehri.
The project, which is being undertaken by a Canada-based Guyanese family, is to be completed in approximately two years and will cost around US$3 million.
The golf course, when completed, is expected to facilitate both local and international tournaments. It will consist of nine holes and imported grass maintained by a sprinkler system.
