Mack Trading (Heaton Park) Limited (“Mack Trading”), who operated Hooton Golf Club in Ellesmere Port and Knights Grange in Winsford, ceased trading on Wednesday 3 October. Both of these golf courses are currently closed, which is very disappointing news.
We have today (Friday 19 October) received notification that Butcher Woods Limited has been appointed as liquidators for Mack Trading.
Consequently, and to return the Hooton and Knights Grange sites to the Council, the Council has today served notice to terminate lease and other agreements.
The Council has immediately made arrangements for the assessment of the condition of the sites and other related assets, and the commissioning of a greens and fairways maintenance regime.
The Council is assessing the best options to bring the sites into operational use as soon as possible.
