Client: Congo Falls Adventure Golf
Location: Bristol, UK
Course Theme: African Safari with Waterfalls and Bridges
The Challenge
Congo Falls Adventure Golf in Bristol wanted to create an unforgettable, safari-themed adventure golf course, one that would transport players deep into the heart of the Congo. They needed a visually striking course with dramatic waterfalls, jungle wildlife, and thrilling challenges to capture the excitement of an African safari.
The standout feature for Congo Falls was to be a series of cascading waterfalls that flowed through the course, offering both a visually stunning centerpiece and a unique obstacle for players. Additionally, the course had to include elements that would make it enjoyable for families, couples, and groups, while still offering the challenge that adventure golfers crave.
Our Approach
MAG was brought on board to design and build an immersive 18-hole course that would feel like a true jungle expedition. The course was envisioned as a journey through dense vegetation, alongside thundering waterfalls, and across rickety bridges, with hidden wildlife surprises waiting at every turn.
Our design team set out to create a fully immersive experience, ensuring that every aspect of the course, from the landscaping to the interactive features, would enhance the safari adventure theme. The signature feature, the cascading waterfalls, was designed not only to look spectacular but also to present strategic challenges for players as they navigated their way around rocks and water.
Course Features
- Themed Holes: The 18-hole course is divided into different sections, each representing an aspect of a Congolese safari adventure. From putting through towering trees to avoiding the waterfall’s edge, players are constantly engaged by the changing environment.
- Cascading Waterfalls: The main visual attraction of the course is the series of waterfalls that flow through multiple holes. The sound of rushing water, paired with mist and splashes, creates an awe-inspiring atmosphere. These water features not only add beauty but also present an obstacle for players as they maneuver around and over the flowing streams.
- Interactive Bridges: MAG designed several swinging rope bridges that players must cross to reach the next hole. These bridges, styled like those found in jungle expeditions, add a sense of excitement and adventure, making the course feel like an expedition through the wild.
- Animal Sculptures: Life-sized sculptures of iconic African animals, including gorillas, elephants, and zebras, are scattered throughout the course. These animals not only add to the visual appeal but are also strategically placed to create themed obstacles for players.
- Themed Landscaping: The course is surrounded by lush greenery and trees to replicate the jungle feel. Native plant species were used to ensure the landscaping is both sustainable and aligned with the safari theme. MAG also incorporated realistic rock formations and cliffs to provide a natural backdrop for the course.
- Night Lighting: Congo Falls Adventure Golf is equally thrilling at night, with the course featuring carefully placed, low-energy lighting that illuminates the waterfalls, bridges, and pathways, enhancing the jungle safari theme after dark.
