The damage caused to the site in Wakefield is just the latest vandalism on golf courses in Yorkshire.
Earlier this month, Concord Park Golf Club in Sheffield saw repeated damage caused by people using off-road bikes and e-bikes.
Owners of the golf course, in the Shiregreen area of the city, said bikes were used to perform wheel spins and doughnuts on the fairways.
At the time, owner Warren Allcroft said due to public rights of way, it was impossible to completely prevent bikers getting onto the course.
Allcroft said: “You could cry. You come in the morning expecting to just rake the bunkers, cut the greens.
“Then you see the damage that’s done by these bikes. It takes hours, days, weeks to get it back to its original state.”
Allcroft said the cost to repair the damage was more than just money.
“It’s not just the repair costs – that’s thousands – but a golfer comes and see the damage and decides they’re not coming back here,” he said.
“It’s on social media. People see there’s damage, so they don’t even come.”
