Marland Golf Course tees off to strong start

A team open competition saw around 240 people descend on Marland Golf Course on Friday 12 April, coinciding perfectly with the US Masters contest.

The day, sponsored by RRG Skoda, was a real treat for golf enthusiasts, beginning at 8am and ending at 4pm.

The much-loved 18-hole course is now being run by local golf professional Andrew Terry and his business partner, Joe Jackson, for a 12-month period, after the council agreed to support their takeover plan.

Since taking over just two weeks ago, the duo have already made a number of big changes to the course, including applying for an alcohol licence and opening a coffee lounge.

 

 

Andrew said: “Things are going really well at Marland and we have loads of fantastic events coming up involving the local community, various charities and health organisations.

“Thank you to everyone for their continued support.”
