Thanks to Dr Douglas Lockhart who visited the site on Sunday 16 July 2023 and provided the update and images below. The pictures were taken from the Pirnhall Road side of the course. Access is problematic – the fence prevents a close inspection – building works on a series of new housing developments are just about to begin.

The above pictures are of the seventh green with the eighth tee beyond close to the fence – you can see the old tee marker (brown colour) just visible on the lower image.

 

Dr Douglas Lockhart paid a further visit to the site on Friday 29 March 2024 and provided the images below. Site preparations for the housing development are well under way. The lower picture shows the former green and tee that were photographed on the first visit, they were in the corner on the right.
