Active8 Leisure Ltd has invested in new golf course maintenance equipment from Ransomes Jacobsen with a retail value in excess of £130,000 for its Ellesmere Port Golf Centre. Malcolm Cooke Manager at the centre commented “We have been steadily improving the course over the past three years and a lot of credit goes to Ray Vernon, our Head Greenkeeper, and his team for what has been achieved. Now, with this latest equipment, we have a quality course maintenance fleet, which will enable us to move on to the next level.”


The management by Active8 is definitely achieving significant results as can be seen by comparative golf utilisation figures posted on the Centre’s notice board. Looking back at the month of January for the last three years, 227 rounds of golf were played in 2007, 612 in 2008 and 1199 last January.
