Manufacturing company JCB has started work on a scheme to create a £30m championship golf course in 240 acres of countryside to the south of the company's world headquarters in Rocester, Staffordshire.
At the heart of the golf development is Woodseat Hall, an 18th century mansion which is currently derelict. It will be renovated as the course clubhouse, with a new spa, leisure facility and five-star hotel-style accommodation.
The new development is designed to support JCB's growth plans and to build a stronger awareness of the JCB brand around the world. Completion of the project is expected in 2018.
