The scenic 18th hole at Holyhead Golf Club, an iconic part of the course.
Holyhead Golf Club, a historic golfing venue on Anglesey, may close its 18th hole due to a neighbor’s complaint about stray golf balls. The club faces a £75,000 expense for compliance and safety upgrades, leaving the community concerned. A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to support the financial burden, as members worry about the club’s future and the impact on local golfing traditions.
The scenic **Holyhead Golf Club**, tucked away on the beautiful Isle of Anglesey, has been a staple in the community since **1914**. Known for its challenging **par-71** course, designed originally as a quaint **9-hole layout** by renowned architect **James Braid**, the club has managed to keep golfers happy for over a century. But now, it seems the peace of the golfing green is being shattered by a single complaint from a nearby resident.
This entire situation escalated when one neighbor voiced concerns about golf balls making their way onto their property. The Isle of Anglesey county council is taking this complaint seriously and is currently investigating the matter under the umbrella of **health and safety** regulations. As a result, an **improvement notice** has been issued to the club, demanding changes to comply with safety standards.
As if that wasn’t enough to handle, the club is facing a hefty bill estimated at **£75,000** (approximately **$80,000**) to build a new green in response to the council’s orders. This sudden financial demand is causing quite the stir among club members and local residents, especially since the club has never received any prior complaints about golf balls leaving the course.
As this story unfolds, the community will undoubtedly keep a watchful eye on the developments regarding the club’s compliance with the council orders and the progress being made towards the new green.
