Fore? No eleven new bays planned at Telford hotel driving range
A Telford hotel has lodged plans for an additional 11-bay golf driving range at its site in the Ironbridge Gorge.
The Telford Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort at Great Hay Drive, Sutton Way, already has an eight-bay range but wants to refurbish those and add to the golfing offer.
Planning agents have told Telford & Wrekin Council that the hotel sits in a “superb location within the boundary of the Severn Gorge Conservation Area, World Heritage Site”.
The agents added that the existing driving range is to the east of the golf club house and hotel car park. There is an 18-hole golf course on the site.
“The TrackMan driving range facility offers state of the art, data-led ball tracking technology, further increasing the leisure facilities on offer at the resort,” write the agents.
“The TrackMan system is a state-of-the-art facility and will be an impressive and important asset for the hotel, bringing wider usage and availability for all: business, individual and group meets and the local community.”
The application is out for a period of public consultation on the Telford & Wrekin Coucil planning portal (reference number TWC/2026/0042).
