Ellesmere Port Golf Centre, a UK municipal venue, has invested in new maintenance equipment worth more than £130,000 from Ransomes Jacobsen.

Active8 Leisure, which manages the course on behalf of the local council, bought the equipment from local dealer Burrows.

“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,” said centre manager Malcolm Cooke.
