Golf Club Set To Rise From The Ashes
Written by HFM News on 4th March 2022
Plans have been announced to re-build Lutterworth Golf Club after it was destroyed by a deliberately-started fire.
They include a new clubhouse, pro shop and greenkeepers accommodation.
Players have been using temporary facilities since the devastating blaze at the club off Rugby Road in May last year.
Temporary facilities at Lutterworth Golf Club
A planning application for the new buildings has been lodged with Harborough District Council.
A document submitted with the plans reads: “The new facilities will offer greater benefits to members of the club, as well as members of the Lutterworth Community as the new proposal will include meeting rooms, function rooms and a golf teaching area.
“This proposed development will provide a much-needed replacement to the lost accommodation and a boost to the well-established Lutterworth Golf Club.
“In addition, it will greatly improve the overall appearance and enjoyment of the existing facilities with minimal impact on the surrounding area.
“The changes being proposed will help the Lutterworth Golf Club to adapt into to a greener, more enjoyable establishment that is accessible for members and beyond, ensuring the viability of the club for future years.”
Police launched an investigation into the fire after it was confirmed it was arson, although no arrests have been made.
Nobody was injured in the incident.
