Golf In Small Spaces

A Collaboration of Himalayas Golf X Faldo Design

Growing Golf By Increasing Accessibility And Options To Play

Golf in Small Spaces is the vision of Sir Nick Faldo and Paul Jansen to make golf more fun, accessible, and inviting for all ages and skill levels.

With a shared passion for course design and growing the game, they created compact, purpose-built golf spaces that attract new players and help experienced golfers sharpen their skills.

These Golf In Small Spaces solutions adapt to modern lifestyles—offering quicker, more relaxed ways to play. Ideal for beginners and casual golfers, they work as stand-alone facilities or as additions to existing golf courses, ranges, and resorts.

“Golf In Small Spaces provides functional and sustainable solutions for golf outside of conventional green grass courses. I am thrilled to bring this to life with Paul Jansen and Himalayas Golf.”


- Sir Nick Faldo

Today’s Challenges:

Limited Time

Many golfers don’t have 4–5 hours for 18 holes. Shorter play options could help attract and retain more golfers.

Limited Land

Full-sized courses are costly and need large parcels of land—often unavailable in urban areas—limiting growth and accessibility.

Limited Practice

Most facilities don’t support focused short game practice, despite 60–65% of golf being played within 100 yards.

The Golf In Small Spaces Solutions:

Golf In Small Spaces provides solutions that take less space, less cost to build, and less maintenance. We are experienced in real grass, synthetic, and hybrid solutions.

  • Small Spaces Courses – Single or multiple short holes with central tee boxes.

  • Short Courses – Backyard-style courses like Dave Pelz backyard research and training center..

  • Putting Courses – Premium designs and higher playability for additional revenue.

  • Less Than 18-Hole Courses – Compact 3, 6, 9, or 12-hole layouts.

  • Indoor Practice Areas – Simulators, putting greens, and short game zones for year-round practice and instruction.

  • Smart Range - Driving Ranges built with smart design features like water recirculation and automatic ball collection.

Sustainable Designs That Require Less Maintenance
