Former World No.1 golf champion Ian Woosnam OBE has written to Wirral Council objecting to the proposal to close the Brackenwood Golf Course.
The council is currently proposing to use the golf course land to improve biodiversity as well as provide sports pitches. It said this is to support its draft Local Plan which is currently being reviewed by the government.
Officers had considered allowing the golf course to be taken over through community asset transfer but this option was rejected over concerns it would cause golf courses across Wirral to lose money.
