An historic Wirral golf course could close for good after 87 years.
Brackenwood Golf Course, in Bebington, closed on March 31, but golfers at the club are passionate about saving it and say four operators are interested in reopening the course which had been run by Wirral Council. To make this happen, any new operator must go through the authority’s Community Asset Transfer (CAT) process which can take many months, a major problem for Brackenwood.
Keith Marsh, secretary of the men’s section at the course, said: “[Brackenwood] is a club of 87 years trying to stay afloat but it can only survive for so long. Every month of this process could jeopardise Brackenwood Golf Course forever.
