A SEASIDE golf course has been sold for more than £1.25 million.

Clacton Golf Club's course, which is owned by Tendring Council, was put up for sale this year.

There were fears that the West Road club, which is more than 100 years old, would fall into the hands of developers.

The deal has been signed and sealed after the club's bid was accepted, and Tendring Council and Clacton Golf Club are due to exchange contracts today.
