A few years ago, the owner of the hotel paid Tiger Woods 1 Million USD just for hitting 1 golf ball from that helipad 8)

Where did the ball boys go? Did they fall off the sides?

lol…they could have had ball boys, but I doubt anyone would have been keen on being a lines man there

I wonder if they managed to get the proper size of a tennis court in there or they scaled it down to fit

It looks a little bit short to me…but still that’s pretty awesome. They should put in a beach volleyball court next…

I think the ball boys are in dinghies in the Gulf below the hotel.
