Stadium Golf Tour, a new golf entertainment format that transforms sport stadia into 9-hole ‘golf courses’, has unveiled a schedule of four further UK venues on top of the previously announced event at Twickenham Stadium in South West London from June 8-11.
In addition to staging an event at the home of England Rugby, the unique format is also teeing off at Sheffield United’s Hillsborough stadium from May 25-28; Leicester City’s King Power stadium from June 1-4; Crystal Palace FC’s Selhurst Park stadium from June 15-18; and West Ham’s London Stadium from October 12-15,
At Selhurst Park, the experience offers players the chance to enjoy a golf challenge which sees them teeing off from all four stands of the stadium aiming for the greens on the hallowed turf. Each hole will be uniquely designed, with players striking balls from the Main stand, followed by tee-offs from the Holmesdale Road and Arthur Wait Stand before ending from the Whitehorse Lane Stand.
The courses, designed for all skill levels, should take about 90 minutes to complete, and feature its own innovative self-scoring system ranging from eagle to triple bogey, depending on how close your ball lands to the hole. There are cups for each hole, so a hole-in-one is possible.
Players can then head for the ‘Clubhouse’, where more driving, putting, and chipping challenges are on offer. Hospitality and refreshments will also be available for guests.
