JCB’s plans to create a golf course within putting distance of their headquarters in Rocester, Staffordshire have been given the green-light. The £30million golf course is intended to boost JCB’s sales and build global brand awareness.

The proposals are for an 18-hole, par 72 championship golf course to the south of the digger maker's headquarters. Building work is set to start this autumn with the course being ready to play in 2018.
Woodseat Hall, an 18th-century mansion, stands at the heart of the 240 acre site. The hall is currently derelict but it will be converted into the course clubhouse with a spa, leisure facilities plus hotel-style accommodation for visiting JCB guests.
