PROJECT HIGHLIGHT: HIGH-END PRACTICE DRIVING RANGE
Golf Up, Grimaud (St. Tropez), France
Southwest Greens crafted a brand new 9-hole golf course, academy, and driving range near St. Tropez, France's iconic and beautiful backdrop. This project features Southwest Greens’ proprietary performance synthetic turf systems. The facility features more than 315,000 square feet of turf and includes fairway, rough, and bunker systems on the course, along with its Pro System on the greens of the course and academy.
“This project propels the industry into a new dimension, demonstrating that our performance turf systems are a real solution for all components on the golf course and driving range,” said Kevin Holinaty of Southwest Greens. “During the planning phase, we worked with the client and architect to deliver on key wishes and expectations for such a unique project. Working extensively with our supply chain’s research and development department, we were able to engineer the best possible options and features. We are excited to be part of the construction of this historic golf facility.”
“Our commercial product line addresses every conceivable problem on the golf course,” Holinaty explained. “Our high-performance turf systems mimic the surfaces of championship caliber natural surfaces. During the engineering process, we understood the demanding nature of the golfer. To satisfy their expectations, our products need to excel in all aspects of ball behavior performance. We think we have created turf systems that live up to this demanding criteria.”
In addition to the golf facilities, Golf Up features apartments for rent adjacent to the academy and is built in a Provençal theme that captures the essence of a typical charming village in Provence. French architect Jean-Claude Cornillot, a senior member of the EIGCA, designed the golf facility. The driving range facilities include innovative target greens and 45 hitting stations. The state-of-the-art academy boasts three coaching studios fully equipped with cameras and video systems.
