Nice to hear Malkins get a mention. Great course especially as you can just turn up and pay don't have to be a member not played a lot lately myself time/weather. Think wychwood park has been on sky not played it though. It's a shame golden hill went the way it did. Crackin little course in its day. keele is sad to was good course until it fell on hard times. For new golfers or just a bit of fun it had a great par 3 course. |

So what about local courses who has played what and what are your views. Me not a great standard play the pay as you turn up ones. Like i said Malkins Bank Crackin course and the main one i go.
Shame about Goldenhill and Keele? your views on these demise. Did jack Barker have some trouble?
Also played Woodside holmes chapel not a massive fan. Knights Grange at Winsford was ok long course though.

I've been lucky enough to play the West Course at Wentworth, through our company & Stoke Pogues in Slough where they filmed the Bond film, the one where Odd job threw his hat and cut the head off the statue. |

I half heard a roumer Jack was a bit of a crook. who had money problems. can't confirm or deny this though. Keele has been shut for about a year now. so the course wouldn't be playable. Ian Woosnam was going to take it on but i heard he wanted the local council to put half the money towards it. They refused and the deal fell through i think. If anyone has more accurate information feel free to add. |

jack barker and his company took over keele,goldenhill,greenway.all brought off the council on the cheap and all were wanted by jack barber to dump landfill to "landscape the site" which as anyone can tell you is bullshit he just wanted to make ££££ from the landfill.
fortunatley greenway is now under new ownership and i believe is flourishing,but goldenhill is a goner and i doubt if anyone would take over keele as it would mean massive investment. its a shame the council couldnt come to some sort of agreement with ian woosemans group you only have to look at the transformation of malkins bank to see the benefits.
crying shame whats happened to gorsty hill too. imo one of the better courses in the area[and possibly the best greens in the area]again this was taken over by a company who wanted to profit from the land and had no intention of taking the golfcourse forward. i believe there is a legal dispute going on as the owners of the present homes on the gorsty estate all brought their homes with the knowledge that they backed onto a golf course,this new developer wants to change this so surely they will be entitled to compo?
