Golf Course Closure.

[John Llewellyn]

Does anyone have any information on the closure of Peover Golf Club, Knutsford, Cheshire.
If anyone has any info on any golf course closures (recent or old) I would like to include them on the Golf's Missing Links website www.golfsmissinglinks.co.uk

Yep. I can only tell you what I have heard, so cannot vouch for the authenticity. Peover GC was owned by two farmers, and one of them decided that he didn't want to use it for golf purposes. The other farmer then had no option other than to agree to pull out. The Swiss chalet style clubhouse will remain, and will be used for weddings, parties and other such functions.

I read that they were concentrating on the "events" (weddings etc.) side of things and that the course was closing.

I played it last year, it was ok, nothing too memorable though.

The M6 runs right through the middle of it.

Taunton Vale GC closes in 5 weeks.

I work with a few ex members of Peover and in addition to the above I heard that the wedding business was sold to one of the farmers sons and then the golf course went bust. A considerable number of people lost their next years subscriptions which were still being taken weeks before the clubs closure. All word of mouth but I've heard the same from several people.

I heard a rumour that Shirland Golf Club in Derbyshire (near Alfreton) was closing, but not necessarily from a good source.

Thanks for informing me of the imminent closure of Taunton Vale. I will include an entry on the Golf's Missing Links when it finally closes.

James, thanks for informing me, will keep my eye on it. John.

Thanks for the info. If anyone has a copy of the scorecard love to receive it and include it on the website.

Do you want a Peover one?

If so i'll see if I've still got it.

I'll warn in advance, I was going through swing changes at the time......

I think New Malton near Meldreth, Cambridge is either closed or very close to.

Was pretty good when decently kept, had some interesting holes. Lost its way when it went chemical free.

I used to be able to play there for £5 but I didn't take them up on the offer after the second time round...

 

[John Llewellyn]

I will pm you if that's OK.

Found the club but it's in Hertfordshire, must be the same one.

Right on the border if not in Cambridgeshire itself. I was a member up until the very end but sadly it never recovered.

Definitely the one then. Would you happen to have a scorecard? It would good to put one on the GML website. I will pm you with my e-mail.
Cheers, John.

Hi John,

Played it a year or so back , 17th a par 3 over a lake was the best hole , rest of the course was so so therefor not surprise , played your course too the day before , much better course
