Concept-Idea
Time is most essential and valuable in our lives.
The golf sport has been loosing and struggling to attract new players for the past decade.
One of the key reasons for this phenomenon is related to our continuous decrease of personal spare time.
The present generation-s busy lifestyles make it difficult to devote time to play golf, given the fact that it takes up to 5 hours to play a decent round of golf.
Playing golf on a regular basis is a (time) luxury we can't afford. The driving range becomes our new playground and only option to play golf.
However we do prefer to play golf on the course.
Golf60 offers a solution to this problem with the following concept: Play golf within 60 minutes.
After arrival and check-in at the golf60 facility one starts with warming up on the driving range hitting a (or several) bucket(s) of golf balls.
Following the warm-up session the Golf60 course offers three Par 4 holes with varying degrees of difficulty. The golf holes are located counter clockwise around the driving range for efficient land use. The whole golf experience lasts about an hour and offers everything the golf enthusiasts desires - a state of the art driving range with a Tour approved three hole Par 12 golf course.
The Golf60 facility consists of the clubhouse with adjacent surface parking, practice greens and sandtraps, driving range and 3-hole golf course. The clubhouse experience offers of a golf proshop, a cafe with dedicated seating area, and state-of-the-art two level driving range that is sustainably embedded into the landscape. The golf course is conveniently designed around the driving range and offers access until late evenings due to flood lights installed along the course. Golf60 intends to revolutionize the golf game to benefit its players as well as its business.
