The exciting plans have been submitted by David Moore, of Moore Adventure Ltd, to be developed at the Lion Quays, near Gobowen.

The proposal would be set in a mock Victorian street scene – the first of its kind in the UK – and also feature a castle wall, an African house, a wizard’s house, dinosaurs, and even a waterfall.

It would take around 90 minutes to complete.

A planning statement by Colin Jenno, operations director for LQ Resorts, said the development will provide a boost for the resort.

He said: “Adventure golf is a popular leisure activity across the UK, but the nearest 18-hole facility to Oswestry is a one-hour car journey away (near Wolverhampton).

“The facility will generate an increase in tourism as it will provide an extra incentive to choose Lion Quays Resort as a destination of choice, which in turn will benefit the surrounding area.

“The Lion Quays Resort will see an upturn in expenditure on food and drink as adventure golfers use the catering facilities at the resort as part of their visit.”

He added: “The ethos of the development is to produce a high-specification facility with a large amount of wow factor to encourage repeat visits, with a broad and detailed range of theming. 

“It will be the first adventure golf course in the UK where a number of the holes are played within a mock Victorian street scene.”

Mr Jenno continued: “The applicant has engaged the services of a design and construction company who have built or significantly modified over 20 adventure golf courses across the UK and Europe.

“Their work reflects a design rich in use of landscaping and water features, with golf holes created to give the appearance of real grass rather than some of the more concrete-based alternatives seen at lower specification courses.”

The new development is set to take the place on an existing disused tarmac car park that has been “roped off for several years”.

If approved, it would utlise the existing 400 car parking spaces at the resort, create one part-time job, and would be open seven days a week between 9am and 10pm.

A decision from Shropshire Council is expected by the end of January.
