AN East Renfrewshire golf club has closed its doors after going into bankruptcy. 

Eastwood Golf Club, in Newton Mearns, was forced to shut due to dwindling membership.
MLM Solutions – a Glasgow-based financial recovery, restructuring and debt advisory firm – is handling all enquiries but, when contacted by the Barrhead News, was unable to confirm if any members who are due a refund will get their money back. 

A trustee has been appointed to take charge of the golf club’s estate and will be responsible for managing the sale of its assets to generate funds for creditors.

Previous efforts to save the cash-strapped club, which sits just off the M77 motorway, included an open day staged earlier this year in a bid to attract new members.

The club also introduced gender-neutral tees, which were aimed at allowing golfers to play from a set of tees most suited to their ability, rather than their gender.
