Golf Simulator Dome
-
Hi Guys,
Its been ages since I posted anything for viewing so I thought this little project might be of interest.
It started out with searching for some form of entertainment facility for a business that I'm involved in, The East Clare Golf Village http://www.clareresorts.com. While the complex is on a golf course and the surrounding areas have lot of amenities the management wanted some 'on-site' entertainment facility that would not cost a small fortune and fit on a small plot of green area in front of the reception block, Coolreagh House.
Oh! and it has to be up and running for the tourist season, March onwards. It was a typical 'I want everything but for nothing' situation. We agreed that the facility should be golf orientated, possible a mini driving range or such.
I decided to investigate the possibility of putting a small virtual golf simulator setup in place but it would have to be a temporary structure if it was to be up and running within the short time table.
I have always been fascinated with inflatable structures and saw this as a chance to experiment further. I did the usual research and located a very helpful company in the UK that specialised in inflatable structures http://www.southerninflatables.net was pleasantly surprised at the quite low cost of these structures, even costume made ones! The golf simulators were a different matter, quite expensive but I think I've located some simulator systems that are not too over the top price wise. http://www.sports-coach.com So far on balance, the overall facility seems feasible.
The attached pictures show a dome type design that I've worked up and that is now being priced. It should be a fun project and I'll post updates on this thread.
Any comments and advise is most welcome as I'm in unexplored waters on this one

Nice design and an interesting brief Mike.
It would be nice to see the model on Google earth. -
Thanks Jon and yes it probably will put it on Google Earth when time permits. Attached is a pic showing half the dome + interior.
Nothing to do with Renders but came across this http://www.ibogleif.dk/spil/flashspil/minigolf/minigolf.swf while doing some research on golf simulators .... great fun and quite addictive .... best I could mannage was 41!
