Golf Course Sinkhole Unearths Hidden Wine Cellar
1 Mar
Summary
- A sinkhole on a golf course revealed a large wine and port cellar.
- The hidden cellar is believed to date back to the original manor house.
- The club is considering incorporating the cellar into its branding.
A recent period of heavy rain led to the discovery of a substantial sinkhole on the 13th hole at Davyhulme Park Golf Club, located west of Manchester. Greenskeepers investigating the issue uncovered a remarkably large wine and port cellar hidden beneath the course. This cellar is believed to be a remnant of the original manor house, dating back over a century to the club's founding.
The unearthed cellar is described as a significant underground space, far from a small storage area. While no official plans have been announced for the discovered alcohol, the club is exploring creative ways to integrate this unique feature into its identity, possibly through updated branding. The possibility of making the cellar a unique feature for patrons has also been considered.
