An estimated £120,000 of damage and lost revenue has been done to the course at Grange Park Golf Club off Upper Wortley Road, in Rotherham, by unknown offenders.

Photos have been shared by the SYP Off Road team of ripped-up greens and tyre tracks carved into the fairways.

South Yorkshire Police is now asking the public to mind “who had been bragging about this” and to contact them with any information.

A police spokesperson said: “It appears a quad and a motorbike have mindlessly ripped up greens and fairways… for fun. This will now be out of action for months to repair.

"Who has been bragging about this? Get in touch.”

Anyone with information can contact SYP on 101.
