Wyre Council wants to make better use of the pitch and putt on the Esplanade and has revealed plans to turn part of the course into a new seafront park.
The 9 hole pitch is to stay open but work on the adjoining 18 hole course is already under way. The Council said it has decided to repurpose the 18 hole course due to “lack of use”.

The full plans for Fleetwood’s new green space has not been revealed at this stage, but the Council has said the focus will be on “increased bio diversity”.
It is expected to introduce wild flower meadows and mowed grass paths, as well as opening up the grounds for recreational use – what the Council calls a “general amenity space”.
The authority has not said when landscaping works will be completed or what amenities will be on offer to visitors.
