and whether it will have fine dining facilities ? I wonder where the clubhouse will be located. Copy-pasted in Photoshop, I'd guess there'll not be room for a proper full-sized 18-hole course, but nine holes would fit admirably. Note to golfers: this is a rough mock-up based on Ealing Golf Course, one of eight courses within a five-km radius of my former London home. Manicured greens and well-tended fairways, tees, bunkers, water hazards, all maintained to a high standard, improves the environmental attractiveness of the area.īelow: I have mocked up an aerial photo taken from the latest imagery on Google Earth (dated 17 March 2015) to show the area around W-wa Jeziorki station. But a golf course! Hurrah! Obviously I'm not a golfer, but the appearance of a golf course on this post-industrial scrubland is to be welcomed. Not a housing development, not a factory, not a municipal waste incineration plant. And today - what news! The site of the old rampa na kruszywa is to be turned into a golf course. Review of Krzysztof Osiejuk's latest bookĪs ever, I can rely on Marcin Daniecki for tip-offs re: local news. The industrial building to the left will become a viewing platform?Īll very interesting! This development will be watched closely.

Will need a lot of remediation work doing to bring this up to the standard demanded by golfers. The soil itself - very post-industrial, with bits of metal, rubber tyre and plastic sticking out. Let's have a look at the putative golf course/driving range as it appears today. The land at the bottom of the above pic is still very much agricultural, a tractor was making its way across it this evening, spraying the soil with weedkiller. So - nothing even remotely full-size in Warsaw, not even a nine-hole course.īut what will happen in the area with the red question marks? Could still all make room for housing.

Vogla is Golf Parks Poland with a putting green and three-hole pitch-and-putt and driving range.

The Olympic Golf Club in Warsaw's Żoliborz is about this size, the Golf Park across the river in Józefów is a bit bigger, with both driving range and six-hole pitch-and-putt. May I suggest that it will be a golf driving range? There's less than 200m in any one direction, so I'd go for this.Įspecially, as Marcin points out, the factory building within the red perimeter will be knocked down to make way for a 'scenic platform'. Now, if Marcin's right, it is unlikely that even a nine-hole pitch-and-putt will fit into this area. The left-hand side of this image is demarcated by Warsaw's city limits across that line lies Mysiadło. Now, this image (rotated so that west is at the top) suggests that the golf course is occupying about one-third of the area I filled in with tees, fairways and greens.
