Just Play Golf has secured a £50k micro loan from the Development Bank of Wales to support the acquisition and fit-out of a golf range in Penrhys.

The capital will help establish the facility as a community resource following its opening shortly before Christmas.
From the founder
"For me sport, especially golf, is a great way of engaging with others and learning new skills. I wanted others in my community to have the same opportunities I had to gain qualifications, while enjoying the social and health benefits the sport offers."
