Golf club plans for demolition and rebuild of clubhouse lands in rough
Shields Gazette
|July 12, 2025
Plans by a South Tyneside golf club to demolish its Victorian-era clubhouse and rebuild it have hit the rough.
Boldon Golf Club have not disclosed the reason for the U-turn but confirmed the development would not be going ahead at the moment.
It is understood members overwhelmingly voted to put the scheme on hold at an emergency general meeting after originally agreeing to allow Hebburn-based developer Castle to raze the clubhouse and build a modern structure on another part of the site.
In its place, Castle aimed to construct six plush four-bedroom town houses with partial views of the fairway.
Club manager Steve Watkins confirmed the block, telling the Gazette: "It's been scrapped. The clubhouse development is not going to take place."
An earlier email sent to members by Mr Watkins also confirmed the plans would be subject to a '12-month moratorium'.
But Castle denies it had withdrawn its proposal.
