Arcos Gardens actively participated in one of the biggest indoor golf event in the Benelux at the RAI. From the 6th to 8th of March 2009, Amsterdam Golf, the largest indoor golf event in the Netherlands, has demonstrated spectacular innovation in range of top-class exhibitors, lively entertainments and numerous original golf activities.More than hundred exhibitors presented an interesting range of products to the enthusiast visitors who really liked to test and buy here.
The trick- and fashion shows at the Arena were highly appreciated by all ages. From young to elder, from starter to professional, many played for the 27 meters long putt, the Hole-in-One and the Longest Drive and some won nice golf prizes. The major improvement will be in the large increase in the number of high-quality shops participating at the exhibition. In addition to Golf Plaza, a host of other providers of equipment, accessories and clothing will be displaying their products. Exciting shopping were ensured, and visitor were in the right place at the right time to benefit from the many attractive offers available - especially for fabulous golfing destinations and smart real estate opportunities. Almost 11.000 visitors came to the RAI venue to enjoy a day out full of golf. From the positive feedback from visitors, exhibitors and professionals we learned again that Amsterdam Golf turns to be a good tradition at the start of a new golfing season.
This second tournament of the XII Circuito Seniors of Andalucia, Gran Premio Unicaja was celebrated at Arcos Gardens last Saturday, 28th February, an important day and Bank Holiday for Andalusian people.
