Entry Hill Golf Club, Bath. (1984 - 2020)
The course was opened in 1984 by the council and was run as a Pay and Play golf course. The nine-hole course had slopes and hills with a total measurement of nearly 4,200 yards.
It continued to be run by the council until 2003 when it was contracted out to a leisure services company. Tim Tapley was the professional until 2014, by this time the course and associated facilities were in decline. Running costs continued to mount and in 2017 the council were looking at alternative uses for the golf course.
It was reported in March 2021 that the former golf course was to become a bike park.
