So this is my first post on DP and also my first explore, let me just pre-warn you, I am not a photographer, I only use my iPhone camera to take photos so the quality might not be brilliant, I also learned today that iPhones are not optimal for taking photos in dark places, so I will be leaving the photos of the interior off this report as there really not worth seeing, anyway, on with the show!
Todays travels took me to Kingstand golf course and country club, It was an interesting Explore for me as I actually used to play golf here when it was still open, I can't find much history on the site but I will tell you what I know, it opened in around 2008-2009 and closed in 2012-2013 due to lack of income, the facilities it had included a 9 hole golf course, driving range, club house, bar and a gym, the site is now up for sale and with a new estate of around 1000 houses being built next door to the site, it would appear to be a pretty good investment and I imagine it won't be long till it is brought.
I entered the site from the back finding myself on the 6th hole. Was all pretty overgrown as you'd expect. Other then a couple of old ball cleaners, tent and sleeping bag not much to see.

That's about it for the course, upon approach to the main building the first thing I come across is the driving range.

I then found an entry point into the bar and the adjoining kitchen, all doors further into the building were locked.

I exited and carried on exploring to find The golf caddy hire building(was more of a shed)

I explored the exterior further and got some shots of bits I liked! This is when i found my entry point into the main building,but as previously stated the Photos I got are really not worth uploading

Not the best of explores I know, but I did thoroughly enjoy my first urbexing experience! It's a real shame the pictures inside the main building wasn't worth uploading, it was the most interesting bit after all, but I will return to document the inside before the site is sold or demolished!*
Thank you for looking
