Threat to the Future of Ruislip Golf Course, Feb 2009 On the 15/12/2008, Top Golf Limited submitted a planning application to Hillingdon council. Details can be found at; http://www.hillingdon.gov.uk/index.jsp?articleid10058 The details of this application centre around the replacement of part of the existing Golf Course at Ruislip, notably the existing 16th and 17th holes and significant parts of the existing 10th and 15th holes, with a vast two storey building and range housing a Top Golf gaming facility. We have spoken to Pat Lomax (Ladies Club Captain) who tells us that club members are not happy about the proposal. The club was founded 1936 and has 180 members, including a flourishing youth section. It also provides "Pay and Play" facility for the general public. The club is affiliated to the National Association of Public Golf Courses. Both adult and junior sections have been successful in the Association's competitions. The existing Clubhouse is
operated by the Spirit Group (a
subsidiary of Punch Taverns), who sub-let a room at no
cost to the Club. There has been no
prior consultation by the council with the Club,
although a Cabinet decision dated 20/03/08 agreed to
discussions with Top Golf and assumption of £5-6m
expenditure. The first the club knew of the application was when a member
received a letter informing neighbours in Hill Rise. The
20/03/08 decision also included an agreement to let
the management of the existing course to Mack
Trading. This is now operating. The agreement included a break clause to
allow for a possible lease to Top Golf, in which case
the area subject of the lease would be adjusted. In the event of agreement not
being reached with Top Golf, the council would invite
Mack to upgrade existing facility at a
cost of £350k. The Spirit Group
are believed to have recently spent £1m on
improvements to Clubhouse/Restaurant building.
