A GOLF course at Moors Valley Country Park has closed suddenly.

Mack Trading, which leases and operates the golf course, ceased trading with immediate effect.

The company has appointed receivers to deal with outstanding debt and the course is currently closed.

Christchurch and East Dorset Councils, which manage the country park, were made aware of the closure at 10pm on Tuesday.

Matti Raudsepp, strategic director, said: “We are waiting to hear from the receivers that have been appointed to act on their behalf and currently the golf course is closed.

“We are working to ensure that members of the golf club are made aware that the course is not open.

“It is obviously disappointing to hear this news and we will now consider options for the future running of the golf course.”

Anyone with queries regarding outstanding debt should contact the Insolvency Practitioner at Butcher Woods Ltd, 79 Caroline Street, Birmingham B3 1UP.
