Proposed demolition of Maidenhead Golf Course clubhouse faces public opposition
What happened
The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead is considering a planning application for the demolition of the Maidenhead Golf Course clubhouse, which could commence in November if approved.
A petition opposing the demolition has garnered over 1,000 signatures from residents, one of whom characterized the council's application as 'panic passing for planning'.
Why it matters
The proposed demolition represents a point of contention between local residents and the council, as the petition indicates significant public resistance to the removal of the structure.
Context
Maidenhead Golf Club, a private members' club established in 1896, previously occupied the council-owned site in the town center.
The club agreed to sell back its 24-year lease to the Royal Borough in 2016 and completed its relocation to the Mill Ride Golf Club in North Ascot in January 2026.
