Build houses on golf courses - especially in Surrey?

[Ethan]

Though Bearwood got bought by Reading FC for their training ground rather than housing (although they could probably get plenty on there as well).

I hear they are planning to build around 15 pitches and additional training facilities, no word of any residential housing.

While not in Surrey, would he like to take on the Trump and build a house there?? Sure to get a few Scottish votes..

R.I.P. The 18th at my home course, Fairfield Golf & Sailing Club. The car park, clubhouse and 18th sold for housing. We are building a new clubhouse with the proceeds.

The country doesn't need affordable 2 bed starter houses
It needs affordable 2 bed starter flats
And they don't have to be tower blocks for that purpose.

Plenty of flats around, major shortage of houses. Most people would like a little outside space and the benefits it brings.

I think they already have at Wentworth and very nice they are too. My firm are working on a new residence there. Available to anyone with a couple of million to spare:rofl:

Definitely no mention in this latest report off the BBC Berkshire web page http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-29565827

Taunton Vale GC closes on 1 November and has a membership of over 700. Its supposed to be reverting back to farmland but with easy access to the M5 I wounder how long it is before another development springs up.

Any reasons for the closure? Bankruptcy? Planning? Land sold from underneath it? A club with 700 members should be financially viable!
