室内高尔夫球场 Indoor Golf
For a couple of years now a developer called ‘Indoor Golf Project’ is talking to the municipality of Amersfoort, a small city located in the middle of the Netherlands. The project he wants to realize there: an indoor golf course of 140.000 square meters.
It is named ‘the biggest indoor golf course of the world’, basically because there is nothing like this around. Maybe there is a good reason for that, the critics of the plan say. Maybe it’s because one of the virtues of golf is that it one plays it outside. The developer however claims that this venue would provide an opportunity to practice the game 365 days a year, that there are huge crowds waiting for a place like this.
With its limited size it’s no 18-hole golf of course. Under the plastic roof one can only practice the short game, like the approach to the ‘put’. The plans are still being developed and the developer considers adding a 5-star hotel, a swimming pool and even more program. The images shown here show an impression of concept, done by Zwarts en Jansma. That is the same office that did the sketch of the extension of Amsterdam underground.
