Slinfold Golf & Country Club
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
- Redevelop a poorly designed; drained and contoured golf driving range.
- Modernise a 9 hole par 3 golf course.
REASON FOR UPGRADE:
The driving range outfield was aesthetically poor to the point golfers were not making use of it. Its contouring also meant the ball collection operation in winter was a problem making it very costly. The Par 3 course was flat and uninteresting and therefore not serving its purpose of getting new golfers into the game.
