\n The exciting plans have been submitted by David Moore, of Moore Adventure Ltd, to be developed at the Lion Quays, near Gobowen.\n<\/p>\n
\n 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.\n<\/p>\n
\n It would take around 90 minutes to complete.\n<\/p>\n
\n A planning statement by Colin Jenno, operations director for LQ Resorts, said the development will provide a boost for the resort.\n<\/p>\n
\n 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).\n<\/p>\n
\n “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.\n<\/p>\n
\n “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.”\n<\/p>\n
\n 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.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n “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.”\n<\/p>\n
\n 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.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n “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.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The new development is set to take the place on an existing disused tarmac car park that has been “roped off for several years”.\n<\/p>\n
\n 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.\n<\/p>\n
\n A decision from Shropshire Council is expected by the end of January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The exciting plans have been submitted by David Moore, of Moore Adventure Ltd, to be developed at the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":293847,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-293846","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=293846"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293846\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/293847"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=293846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=293846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=293846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
