PBDS partnered with a leisure and entertainment company, to develop a unique outdoor adventure golf course in Bournemouth. Our client’s vision was to create a family-friendly attraction that would enhance their existing entertainment offerings and attract a wider audience. PBDS was brought on board to manage the entire project, from feasibility study to the grand opening.
Outdoor Entertainment Space Development
Challenges
- Tight Timeline: The client wanted the adventure golf course operational in time for the peak summer season, requiring a fast-tracked project timeline.
- Site Constraints: The designated site presented some topographical challenges, requiring creative design solutions to maximize playability and visual appeal.
- Budget Considerations: The project needed to be delivered within a pre-defined budget while maintaining high-quality construction and design.
- Environmental Sensitivity: The site was located near a local nature reserve, necessitating careful consideration of environmental impacts and adherence to planning regulations.
Our Approach
- Feasibility & Planning: We conducted a detailed feasibility study, assessing the market demand for adventure golf in the area, analyzing potential revenue streams, and developing a preliminary budget. We then worked closely with the client to refine the concept and develop a detailed project plan. We managed the entire planning permission process, addressing environmental concerns and securing necessary approvals within the required timeframe.
- Design & Development: We collaborated with a specialized adventure golf course designer to create a challenging and engaging course layout that maximised the site’s potential. Our team managed the tendering process, selecting a reputable contractor with experience in constructing similar projects.
- Project Management: Our project managers oversaw every aspect of the construction phase, from site preparation and landscaping to the installation of the golf course features and clubhouse. We implemented rigorous cost controls, ensuring the project stayed within budget, and closely monitored the construction schedule to meet the tight deadline. We also ensured compliance with all health and safety regulations.
- Environmental Considerations: We worked closely with environmental consultants to minimise the project’s impact on the surrounding ecosystem. This included careful selection of materials, responsible waste management, and the implementation of landscaping measures to enhance biodiversity.
