Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Northwick Park, in London, [United Kingdom]. States that "for a large proportion of potential golfers, the four hours or so a typical round now takes is a major strike against the game." Explains that "as well as the six hole 'golf in an hour' concept, [Northwick Park] has another way of appealing to new golfers - the holes seek to replicate some of those seen on the world's most famous tracks." States that "the course, designed by Peter McEvoy, opens with a tribute to the sixth hole at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles." Mentions other courses Northwick Park pays tribute to, including Ganton Golf Club in Yorkshire, England; Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York; Belfry Golf Club in Wishaw, England; Royal Troon Golf Club in Troon, South Ayrshire, Scotland; Royal Birkdale Golf Club, in Southport, England; and Augusta National Golf Club, in Augusta, Georgia. Concludes that "there may not be that much [at Northwick Park] to detain the experienced player. But for the beginner, or those returning to the game, who want to feel the excitement of golf at a relatively low cost in both cash and time, it's ideal." |
