  • Report: Agenda Item 5 Appendix 4
    Wyre Forest District Council Golf Facility Review Introduction This report reviews current golf play provision within Wyre Forest District Council (WFDC). Golf was not included within the Playing Pitch Strategy as supplied by Knight, Kavanagh and Page (2017) because it is not a statutory sport. Although golf is not a statutory sport in which to include within a PPS as outlined by Sports England1, it was felt that a review would be beneficial in regards to the emerging Local Plan and specifically in regards to proposed site allocations within the former Burlish Golf Course. This report will review the current golf courses within Wyre Forest District, and nearby courses in adjacent councils. It will also review current demand levels for Golf both in terms of local demand and also wider national trends. It will also discuss in detail the former golf course site at Burlish, and the proposed vision for the site. 1- Current Provision Wyre Forest District currently has five English Golf affiliated courses currently operating, all of which are run as privately operated clubs. Each club does offer visitor pay and play service but are primarily membership clubs. There is also an additional non affiliated private pitch and putt course based in Winterfold school, and a pay as you play pitch and putt course at Mini Pro Golf Parks. All of the Golf Clubs are within a 20 minute drive time for all Wyre Forest District residents, which is the drive-time catchment as recommended by Sport England.
