The 19th Hole will be opening on the Claremont Pier in Lowestoft on September 4 after director Ben Llewellyn sought fresh ways to generate more footfall through the winter months.

Following a Facebook poll to gauge interest, customers were offered the choice between karaoke, golf and darts – with the golf simulator proving most popular.

 A 55-minute session on the golf simulator starts at £25 (Image: Foresight Golf Simulators) “If we stay stagnant, there would be no point for people to come down and visit,” Mr Llewellyn said.

“By moving forward with the simulator, we will attract different types of people who don’t normally come to us.”

To help make this possible, the pier received funding from the East Suffolk Resilience Grant Scheme

The room is situated next to Bar 20 and the area has been fitted with new electrics and interior.

The website is now live and budding golfers are able to book 55-minute slots from £25.
