It reads: "For a significant period of time the Torrance Park Golf Club has been experiencing challenges to being able to run as a profitable business. Unfortunately, it has been loss making for a number of years and has reached a point where this cannot continue. We have therefore undertaken a review in relation to the sustainability of the club, to look at whether or not it is viable to continue operating into the future.

"As a result of this review, in which we looked at all possible options, we have identified that there is no alternative other than the closure of the club and as such the golf club and clubhouse will close with effect from 1st October 2024.

"We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers and former members for their support over the years."
