Burnley Leisure’s head of operations Neil Hutchinson said: “In the short time we’ve been open, we had visitors come not only from Burnley, but also from areas including Clitheroe, Pendle, Todmorden and Skipton.
“The response has been fantastic.”
The £2.5 million complex, owned by Burnley Council and managed by Burnley Leisure, houses a 16-bay golf driving range, golf pro shop, and multi-purpose studio, golf and football academy complex as well as conference and meeting rooms.
A purpose built full teaching facility is equipped with golf simulator and GC2 launch monitor, which allows players to track their results.
