The Tycroes Golf Range in Ammanford has reopened following a £150,000 redevelopment programme.

The nine-hole facility has been transformed into a legacy venue, designed to cater for grassroots golf. The site's driving range has also been updated with the installation of a ball stop fence.

The project was part-funded by a £70,000 grant from the Ryder Cup Wales Legacy Fund.

Tycroes is one of eight Legacy funded projects in West Wales with six currently in development and two that have already been completed and opened.

Carlo Luzzi, Tycroes Golf Range manager, said: “The newly upgraded facility will enable us to attract new players to the game by allowing us to offer a wide range of programmes for young people via the links that have already been established with local schools and Dragon Sport."

Rob Holt, chief executive of Ryder Cup Wales, added: "One of the objectives of the Legacy Fund is to provide the whole of Wales with a lasting legacy of improved golfing facilities long after 2010 to be enjoyed by future generations.”
