Sapey Golf Club, straddling the B4203 north of Bromyard, was previously part of Mr Best’s Wyldecrest Parks company which still owns the nearby Saltmarshe Castle residential park, before being put on the market last year for £1.8 million. Instead of golf, the wider grounds were to offer “leisure and wellness activities”, including walking, running, cycling, horse riding and “foraging trails”. In all, “up to a dozen local people” would be employed at the course when back up and running. There was one call to keep it open as a golf course, from Simon Smith of Worcester. Full planning permission was refused.
