Probably by 2012, or maybe 2013, a David Heads-designed, championship-length golf course is coming to Great Paxton, a village that’s 15 miles west of Cambridge, England.
The course will be part of the 215-acre Cambridgeshire Golf Club & Academy that’s being developed by Michael Taylor, the head of City & Country.
The local parish council has expressed concerns about the project’s viability –- “There are already more than 30 golf courses in the area,” it said in a statement, “all experiencing membership difficulties in the present economic climate” -– but last fall it nonetheless granted the rezoning that Taylor’s group needs to begin work on the course.
The group hopes to break ground on the course this year.
Heads, the chairman of Stoneheads, will reportedly import 120,000 tons of fill to create the course.
