Is that driving range up in Loxley still open?

[Sketty24 10]

I thought the golf course that stretched over Long Lane was part of the Hillsborough Golf club? Or am I just totally wrong?

[steelhead4 10]

You are not wrong , it is Hillsborough Golf Club. Their 4th and 5th holes I think.

For info, on this map, its on Myers Lane. (just off long lane)

I've been going up there for lessons all summer. The Golf Pro is called Betty and her website is here.

I heard the whole place was up for auction the other month and changed hands for around £300,000 and that planned improvements were on the cards.... lets hope so, it would be a great place with a few upgrades without the need to goto Concord etc.

or do you mean the range - that burnt down a few years ago

 

That was the clubhouse.

 

The actual range is still there....I think.

Yep, the clubhouse burnt down some years ago, but the driving range was unaffected.

The driving range is pants - the tees are terrible and you can't use woods - what's the point in that???

 

Use Concord now - not heaps better but better all the same.

I 've heard that the new owners might addressing both those issues with some funding. Fingers crossed.
