A golf
driving range for all the family to enjoy – that’s the idea
behind the Aberdulais Golf Driving Range in Neath. The range
has been built by the Richards family, who used to farm the
area before the A465 cut a swathe through their lands. And
now they have come up with a new concept of an all-round
facility for the whole family to enjoy. The Richards
family approached Business for support in setting up this
exciting new venture. The Advisors at Business Connect
provided assistance with obtaining local authority funding,
business advice and market research.
Business Advisor April Rossiter
explained,
"“This was an innovative
approach which we were sure would prove popular,” she said,
"The range
has become a facility for local communities and attracts
visitors from farther afield because it has so much to
offer.”
The golf driving range offers
additional facilities as Andrew Richards explained,
“We
have a restaurant and coffee shop serving Starbucks products
which is open to the public. We also have canoeing and
fishing facilities on our river."
The business is now performing
well and is proving popular with local and tourists alike.
The poor weather has attracted golfers who are unable to
play on the courses due to the heavy rain. The
restaurant is also doing well with Sunday dinners proving
exceptionally popular. The catering staff are now
expanding their services and offering outside catering to local
businesses, organisations and individuals. The Range
also caters for children's parties, Christenings, funerals,
get togethers
and other special occasions. A new website is being
created to showcase the facilities on offer.
