Golf Promenade, The Belvedere Golf And
Country Club at Shantigram
Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India
Landscaped Community Promenade Abutting Scenic Golf Course
As the central open green of the Shantigram Towship, the 9-Hole Golf Course spread
across 69 acres extending from the rear end of the Belvedere Golf and Country Club
is also the social focal point of the community. The 1.5 km stretch of a pedestrian
promenade that runs along this golf course expanse on one side with the main
arterial road of Shantigram abutting its other side creates the perfect opportunity
for various social and age groups to gather recreationally. INI has enhanced the
promenade’s value as a social space through its sensitive planning and landscape
design that makes it attractive, vibrant and comfortable for all members of the
community to use it as a social and recreational open space for gathering, walking,
jogging, biking and watching the sporting activity on the golf course.
Meticulously Crafted Streetscape
with Planting Varieties, Water
Features & Street Furniture
Finished with pervious paving that absorbs rain-water and is also
comfortable to walk/ jog on, the promenade is punctuated by
various features to delight the community. A variety of seating
options have been designed – some shaded, some at the edge of
small pools created in the landscape, some looking out towards the
golfing activities while others looking across the main arterial road.
A small amphitheater, some pavilions and food kiosks also have
been provided along the promenade. Edges have been planted in
varying patterns with layers of native species of plants and trees.
Golfing Expanse and Training Academy
A trail with flowering varieties lining its edges takes off from the promenade to meander towards
the golfing academy building set inside the golfing greens. The academy building with its
arcaded façade coordinating visually with the Belvedere Club’s architectural language is
well-facilitated with infrastructure and personnel for training community members in the sport,
while its shaded terrace offers panoramic views of the scenic golfing greens, its undulating
mounds of green and the sinuous water bodies featured within it.
