The Club Company Acquires High Legh Park Golf Club
Leading country club provider The Club Company has today taken operational ownership of High Legh Park Golf Club, adding to its collection of 15 premium UK country clubs.
The move reflects renewed confidence in the industry and optimism around golf’s continued growth in popularity, with the number of golf players in the UK having risen from 3.6 million to 5.7 million since 2016.
The new addition to the group perfectly aligns with The Club Company’s vision of offering a choice of premium golf destinations which provide unparalleled golfing experiences for its members.
With ambitious plans to invest in the club’s existing facilities and membership, the future is looking bright for The Club at High Legh Park.
The announcement follows a period of major investment in several of The Club Company’s existing UK golf clubs, including The Tytherington, Lichfield Golf and Country Club, The Club at Cams Hall Estate, Castle Royle in Reading, and Nizels in Kent.
The Club Company’s CEO Richard Calvert said: “I’m delighted to add The Club at High Legh Park to our market-leading portfolio of 15 country clubs.
“With its picturesque 27 holes, extensive driving range, and friendly clubhouse, we look forward to providing The Club Company experience to the members of High Legh Park.
I’m also pleased that American Golf will continue with their popular retail store at the club.
The High Legh course, which opened in 1998, was originally designed by Mark James and international course architect Steve Marnoch.
Situated 40 minutes outside Manchester in the popular Cheshire area and just 30 minutes away from The Club Company’s Macclesfield-based club, The Tytherington, High Legh Park Golf Club has been operational since 1998.
The club offers an 18-hole championship course and nine-hole short course, a 24-bay floodlit driving range with Toptracer Technology, two practice areas, and a putting green, as well as a modern clubhouse with fantastic views across the courses.
International Leisure Group’s CEO Nigel Oddy added: “In the capable hands of The Club Company, we are certain that High Legh Park will go from strength to strength.
The Club Company has a wealth of experience in country club management, and we are confident that the sale of High Legh Park will provide future opportunities for both members and the wider team at the club.
“We are also pleased to continue trading our American Golf store at High Legh Park, providing members with a fantastic variety of products, brands, and services.”
