A Dundee golf driving range has shut for at least a week due to “unforeseen circumstances”.
The facility at Ballumbie Castle Golf Club closed temporarily on Thursday.
Bosses at the golf club posted on Facebook to say: “Due to unforeseen circumstances, the driving range will be closed for 7-10 days.
“Please check back on our Facebook page for further updates.”
Dundee Golf Centre – which had been involved in running the range and pro shop – previously announced that it would be leaving Ballumbie on March 1.

However, that departure has happened sooner.
A statement said: “It is with regret to inform you that from today, Thursday January 4 2024, we will be leaving the facility at Dundee Golf Centre with immediate effect.
“A decision that was not taken lightly, but we’d like to wish everyone at Ballumbie Castle Golf Club and the surrounding areas the very best.”
The statement added: “Scott Grant Golf and Dale Nelson Golf will still continue to operate via the driving range once reopened by Ballumbie Castle Golf Club, please reach out to them directly for information going forward.”
The reason for the move has not been explained.
The new-look, high-tech Ballumbie driving range only opened in April 2023 after a 17-month closure when the old facility was destroyed by Storm Arwen.
