PITCHINPLAYCOURSE DESIGN + BUILD 
Case study · Huntingdon · Outdoor adventure golf
A compact piece of hardstanding transformed into an 18-hole journey through a rainforest-inspired world.
The brief
The starting point was an existing car-wash area at a Huntingdon garden centre. The site needed to become a full-sized attraction without losing the convenience of its retail setting. The challenge was to fit 18 distinct holes into a restricted footprint while keeping the route comfortable for players of different ages and abilities.
An Aztec and Central American rainforest theme gave the new course a clear identity. It also created opportunities for the build team to turn practical site constraints into part of the adventure.
The existing hardstanding shaped the construction strategy. Rather than excavating, the course was built above it. Blockwork borders with a rendered, stone-like finish formed durable edges and helped establish the changes of level needed for varied play.
A retained container became a cave, while existing canopy supports were worked into tree-like features. Artificial playing grass, planting and scenic details linked the holes into a coherent environment without asking the small site to do more than it could.

The result
The finished course makes a former service area feel like a separate visitor experience while remaining connected to the garden centre. Themed features give the route variety, and accessible circulation lets a broad audience enjoy the full round.
