Parley Golf Centre - Bournemouth, U.K
Existing Layout
Daryl Dampney, Manager of the family owned Parley Golf Centre approached Evolve-GCD with ambitious plans to re-develop the centre's existing 9-hole course into an 18-hole layout.
Upon viewing the centre's existing layout it was immediately evident that there was a need to give the holes some breathing space and despite the club having additional land to extend the course, a full 18-hole layout would still be a tight fit. Additionally, the centre's existing driving range was very short and not aligned particularly well with the range's bays.
After discussion it was determined that the course would no longer be extended to what would be a tight 18-hole layout, instead a 9-hole layout would be created offering space for wide fairways and water hazards as well as extending the driving range to a more satisfactory length and creating a short game practice area and large putting green.
Construction work on the practice green and bunker practice area has been completed by M.J Abbotts and John Greasley Ltd.
