A nine-hole golf club in Great Yarmouth is bidding to transform into a countryside holiday haven by building 80 lodges and a spa – including over the golf course. At present the venue offers the golf course, a driving range, tennis courts and a bowling green. It hopes to be able to remove the course and driving range but instead offer a golf simulator, ten-pin bowling and snooker, as well as tennis and outdoor bowling. Fifty lodges, classed as caravans, would be built on the east side, as well as the 30 on the south side, where the golf course currently resides. “The golf course is one of the largest financial ‘strains’ on the business with its maintenance costs significantly exceeding the annual revenue it generates.
