WORK has begun to redevelop golfing facilities in Lichfield.<\/p>\n
The crazy golf area redevelopment in Beacon Park has already begun, while moves to cut the number of holes on the main course will also start this month. <\/p>\n
The new adventure golf space will include structures inspired by local landmarks including Lichfield Cathedral and the Lichfield Garrick.<\/p>\n
Cllr Andy Smith, Lichfield District Council\u2019s deputy leader and cabinet member for leisure and major projects, said:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re working with MicroSports to bring this exciting new adventure golf experience to the park.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPerfect for all ages, this adventure course will guarantee\u00a0a really memorable experience for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Work is also taking place to reduce the main golf course in Beacon Park from 18 to nine holes to make way for new padel tennis courts.<\/p>\n
Cllr Phil Whitehouse, cabinet member for operational services, parks and waste, said:<\/p>\n
\u201cWith greater focus on maintenance, we will be able to offer golfers better playing and putting surfaces making for a more enjoyable experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe disc and footgolf will be retained within the remaining nine holes<\/p>\n
\u201cThe course will be closed for approximately 12 weeks from 22nd September to allow the works to take place and the greens to improve.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe works have been timed outside of peak season to have the least possible impact.\u201d<\/p>\n
