Daryl Dampney of Parley Golf Centre with some of the equipment used for night golf
Parley Golf Centre is inviting golfers to have a shot in the dark by playing in a tournament at night.
The ‘spooky night golf’ includes fairway lights, illuminated balls and glowing greens – and takes place on Thursday, October 29.
Fancy dress is optional and the centre is inviting teams of four to enter prior to the event.
The cost is £12.50 per person or £45 for a team and entry includes a hot drink on arrival, and supper.
Six of the course’s holes will be in play for the night-time event that promises to be a fun evening’s entertainment.
The centre – opposite Bournemouth Airport – is currently undergoing £250,000 of investment to turn it into the finest practice facility in the region.
Daryl Dampney, manager of the centre, said: “Night golf is a lot of fun and something a bit unusual.
“Teams of four play six holes and the fairways, greens and pins are lit up with glow-sticks.
“We use special golf balls that have an insert in them which lights up when the ball is hit, allowing players to see their shot in the dark.
“We aim to be a golf centre that embraces innovation and night golf is a great example of that.
“Some golfers prefer playing at night because they say they can find lost balls more easily.”
The event takes place between 7pm and 11pm – just ring the centre to book: 01202 591600.
