PM says a new nine-hole golf course will be built in Popua Featured
Prime Minister of Tonga 'Akilisi Pohiva
9 May, 2017. The Tonga Prime Minister says a new nine-hole golf course will be built in Popua for the 2019 Pacific Games.
'Akilisi Pohiva and members of the Games Organising Committee visited the new site last week.
The government had originally proposed building a new 18-hole course, despite the CEO of the Games Organising Committee, Lord Sevele, saying the current nine-hole course in 'Atele was suitable for the Games.
The Prime Minister said the two parties have now come to an agreement.
"We discussed that with the organising committee that no upgrade (to 18 holes will take place)," he said.
"They have performed the people that organise the sport that nine holes is ok."
"I can assure you now that the golf course will be completed before 2019."
'Akilisi Pohiva said the Chinese government is helping to pay for the construction of the new course.
