A new family golf centre is to be created in West Fife as part of an ambitious £65million expansion of the Forrester Park Resort, near Dunfermline.
The plans include a five-star hotel, spa and family leisure complex, but the owners are just as excited about a new nine-hole course that will be specifically aimed at juniors and women.
"It will be a pay-and-play course open to everyone but we are hoping it will be a boost in particular to junior and ladies' golf," said Robert Forrester, the resort's managing director. Forrester Park first became associated with golf when it opened a driving range in 1993 and, since 2001, it has been the home of an 18-hole course, which currently has 600 members.
As part of the expansion, a new driving range and clubhouse will also be built.
Hamish Grey, chief executive of the Scottish Golf Union, said: "We believe family golf centres are the future of golf in Scotland.
