GOLFING fans need look no further than Whitchurch if they are after a `little gem’ of a golf course.

The new nine-hole, par three course at Macdonald Hill Valley Hotel, Golf and Spa on Tarporley Road was officially opened by Albert Minshall, the creator of the hotel and golf complex.

The course has been designed to encourage juniors to start playing the game as well as for hotel guests.

There is a flourishing junior membership at Hill Valley which is always keen for more boys and girls to join.
