A £100m (US$151.3m, €117.7m) development in Yorkshire is set to be built on the existing Flaxby Park Golf Course and will feature a 27-hole course and a 303 room hotel.

York-based property firm, Skelwith Leisure, will begin work on the new site at the end of May, which will also feature a floodlit driving range, conference centre, four helipads, three restaurants, and an 18,000sq ft (1,672sq m) spa, gym and pool facility. The hotel will be the largest luxury hotel resort in northern England.

Global management company, Troon Golf, which has been involved in the development for the past three years, will be looking to increase the number of events held at the resort once construction work is complete.

Later this year work is also scheduled to begin on a Hampshire golf course hotel, while Wyndham Hotel Group has also announced it will be building a new golf resort based in Dundee.
