>> NEW 8TH HOLE MAKING GOOD PROGRESS

NEW 8TH HOLE AT NORTHWICK PARK IS SHAPING UP WELL

Progress is good on the new hole at Playgolf Northwick Park. Due to open for play on 01 April 2008, the new Par Three will complete our transformation to a full Nine Hole golf course, in readiness for the expansion of PowerPlay Golf in 2008. Walk down to the Baseball cages to see the new tees, and get a look at the angled green - guarded by several bunkers and some newly-planted heather.

But which hole is it? Northwick Park is the 'Majors' golf course, where every hole is an accurate tribute to a famous hole from golf's major tournaments - so can you spot which hole we've paid tribute to?

All we're saying is that it's in the UK, and it's a difficult par three... All will be revealed closer to the April 2008 launch. But we CAN guarantee that it will be in immaculate condition, like the rest of our greens - often described as the best in the South of England, and certainly London's best, most Tour-like putting surfaces.

More trees will be planted soon, to shield the revised putting green to the right of the new hole, and we'll be growing the fairway grass to create extra definition. We can't wait to open our new 8th hole for play, so keep visiting Playgolf Northwick Park to check on progress!
