Customers can hire a private box at Urban Golf's 3 London venues to watch
any game during the 2010 World Cup. Each private booth includes a 15ft
screen, seating and waitress service during any of the World Cup matches.
Urban Golf's main attractions are the 22 state of the art golf simulators
on which guests can play along simulated versions of 50 championship golf
courses. During the World Cup, the golf simulators can be turned into mini
cinemas for private screenings, suitable for up to 10 people each with a live
feed of the football being projected onto a 15ft screen. The simulators can
also be used for various golf competitions to keep guests entertained at half
time and long after the final whistle.
David Richter, Urban Golf's Marketing Manager, came up with the product
to capitalise on World Cup fever this year. "We've modified our 22 golf
simulators to be able to screen all the matches during the World Cup. Each
simulator houses a massive screen which takes up your entire field of vision,
when you're watching the football it's the next best thing to actually being
there".
Urban Golf's founder, James Day, says "The World Cup is a massive
opportunity for us. During the 2006 World Cup we realised we occupy a unique
space in the market for sports screenings. Our venues were full of groups
looking to entertain staff, clients and friends during the World Cup but
wishing to avoid traditional, rowdy sports bars".
Urban Golf has created a range of World Cup packages for groups of 4 -
250 guests. Prices start from GBP25 per head before food and drink; all
packages include event management and waitress service.
