European Golf in Cottingham tees off with UK first…
European Golf in Cottingham is creating the country’s first full-sized golf course covered entirely with artificial grass.
Using specialist synthetic ‘grass’ handpicked and imported from Arizona, the nine-hole course is being painstakingly laid to ensure it offers the same consistent ball speed and ‘true roll’ expected of ‘real’ grass, as well as being able to withstand any conditions the British weather can throw at it.
Company founder David Lowe said though the deal was unique, he believed it could open the door for similar contracts at sites across the UK.
