A plan to revamp a golf course by building new facilities has been approved.

Billingbear Park Golf Course, near Wokingham, Berkshire, will undergo phased improvements, which will include adding an outdoor putting course, a golf simulator building and a teaching room.

The publicly accessible, pay-and-play course will also install three padel courts and two pickleball courts.

Mark Batchelor, acting for the applicant at a Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead development management committee, said the course “must evolve” to survive.
