Golf has arrived in Dubrovnik! No, it isn’t the grand opening of the multi-million dollar golf resort on the top of the Srd Mountain, it’s a much smaller affair. The ACI Marina in Dubrovnik have opened a “Golf Range Concept.” It isn’t so much a golf course more of an opportunity to train and practice your swing and putting. This unique golf training course and mini golf course will be opened at the end of May this year and is the brain child of a company from Zagreb called Sport Concept Ltd.

The basic idea of a gold range concept is building golf training course on artificial tennis courts and will include six practice putting holes, a sand bunker, a chipping green to improve your short game, a driving net for bringing out the woods and a mini golf course with nine different holes. ACI Marina will become the first marina in Croatia to offer this unique attraction to its guests. And is reported that this is a pilot project for ACI Marina and if it proves popular with guests the same courses will be introduced in every ACI Marina in Croatia.

As the golf concept uses artificial grass, grass specifically designed for golf practise courses, it can be open in all weather and will be open all year round. Equipment will also be available to rent at the course so there is no need to lug your golf bags to Dubrovnik. And a golf “animator” will also be on hand to teach new golfers and give information on the course.
