Golf giant drives ahead with £700,000 makeover
A DRIVING range facility is receiving a £700,000 state-of-the-art makeover.
Retail giant American Golf has unveiled its refit of the Golf Rossendale site, on Newchurch Road, Rawtenstall – set to open in April.
The firm say the 10,000 sq. ft complex, complete with a “flagship, first-ofits-kind” coaching academy, will create a total of 25 jobs.
An American Golf store and a high-tech driving range facility, fitted with the latest Toptracer technology and an interactive outfield, plus a new sports lounge offering Italian cuisine with an American twist, will also be available for people to enjoy.
Bosses have also applied this month to Rossendale council for planning permission for engineering operations and a viewing shelter for a family adventure golf facility.
Chief executive Gary Favell said: “The new American Golf Driving Range in Rossendale is the first of its type in the area and aims to make golf more accessible and inclusive for people of all backgrounds, genders, ages and abilities.”
