New nine-hole heritage adventure golf course built in Selby

The nine-hole course in Selby Park will celebrate the town’s history through an interactive, family-friendly experience.

The project is part of North Yorkshire Council’s regeneration plans and will link the Station Gateway with Selby town centre while improving the park.

Malcolm Taylor, executive member for highways and transportation at the council, said: “The investment supports our ambitions to regenerate Selby town centre, encourage healthier lifestyles and enhance one of the area’s most valued community spaces for residents, families and visitors.”

The new attraction replaces the park’s crazy golf course, which had stood for more than 30 years.

Workers began removing the old course on September 14, and started building the new one on September 21.

NY Highways, North Yorkshire Council’s highways maintenance company, is delivering the project with designers RL Golf.

The course will bring Selby’s past to life with themes including Viking settlers, Selby Abbey, shipbuilding, railways and coal mining.

The park will also get new signs, seating and lighting.
