Bolton is home to a new golfing experience - for those keen golfers and those who want to try their hand at the sport.

Play2Par has opened its second academy in the Market Place Centre in the town centre.

It provides the 'ultimate indoor golf development experience', incorporating coaching, practice and entertainment whilst utilising the world’s leading technology.

Located in Unit 16 of Market Place, next to sportwear retailer JD, the company says it is excited to welcome the Bolton community for a game or two.

David Butler, Managing Director of Play to Par, commented: “We are delighted to be supporting Bolton in bringing golf to a wider audience as well as established players.

“For non-golfers, we provide a fun and challenging approach to learning golf through our simulator technology, with interaction through real use of clubs and video-based games to challenge.

“We encourage anyone playing or interested in golf to come to Market Place and have a shot at golf!

“We would like to thank Moorgarth and Market Place Shopping Centre for supporting us in, what we believe, will be a very successful venture for Play to Par.”

Rachel Townsend, Centre Manager for Market Place Shopping Centre, said: “We are so excited for Play to Par to open their second UK venue here at Market Place, it is a great concept for all ages and skillsets, I for one look forward to putting my golfing skills to the test!

“Play to Par has proved to be a huge success at York and we can’t wait for their success to grow here!”

Play to Par started in 2021 on the outskirts of York, North Yorkshire.

They created a membership and subscription model to access the golf bays.

Play to Par says it offers customers value-for-money through tailored package solutions for multi-user access.
