Golf club's former buildings could go for homes plan
RBWM/Healey Demolition ServicesA former golf clubhouse could be demolished within weeks in a plan to build 1,500 homes on the site.
Maidenhead Golf Club moved from the town's Shoppenhangers Road course to the former Mill Ride Golf Club in Ascot in January after it bought the latter for £11m.
Cala Homes was given outline permission for the homes project, which includes building primary and secondary schools, in February 2025 by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM).
Hundreds of people opposed the homes plan for the 132 acre (53 hectare) site last year and argued that the town would lose its "green lung".
In an application filed to RBWM, a demolition company said the clubhouse would be knocked down "to ground slab level only".
Other structures, including a timber shed and a steel-framed agricultural barn, would also make way.
The company, Swindon-based Healey Demolition Services, proposes the work, which would be done on RBWM's behalf, starts in November. It should take five weeks.
The former Mill Ride Golf Club was sold to the Maidenhead club by a trustee appointed by the High Court after Zamira Hajiyeva, the wife of a jailed Azerbaijani banker, agreed to give it up following the UK's first unexplained wealth order.
