Heard that there was one opening near the Uni... anyone confirm or have I been misinformed ?

Wonder if this is connected with the outfit that have been developing (or not) the castle course the past 3 years.......

Was supposed to be one put on Blackheath Lane about 4 years ago. No connection to the Castle.

It'd be good to have one nearby, I used to play loads when I was a youngster but never kept it up after I moved away from Manchester. I'd quite like to have a range so that I can spent some time up there and see if I still enjoy golf before parting with mucho £££££££'s and joining a club!

and if there is a range being built - please, please, please include outside bays where you can hit off grass, (subject to weather, so the grass isn't chewed up) practicing off mats is not exactly good. Also, separate chipping/bunker area please :)

There is one at the Chase Golf Club, just off the Pottal Pool roundabout heading to Penkridge.
I've been there, it's OK but the ball vender nicked my quid coins both times I went, also (as per post that I edited whilist you were replying!) I don't like hitting off astro turf.

edit - editing to explain earlier edit
