Just weeks after it was rumoured that Premier League club Manchester United was looking at buying High Legh Park Golf Course in Cheshire to use as a new football training facility, it has been announced that the venue has been bought by UK golf course operator The Club Company.
The Club Company currently has a portfolio of 15 clubs in the UK, including Castle Royle in Reading and Nizels in Kent, and The Club at Cams Hall Estate in Hampshire.
The Club Company’s CEO Richard Calvert commented; “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.”
Situated 40 minutes outside Manchester and just 20 minutes away from The Club Company’s Macclesfield-based club The Tytherington, High Legh Park Golf Club offers an 18-hole championship course and 9-hole short course, 24-bay floodlit driving range with Toptracer Technology, two practice areas and putting green, and a modern clubhouse.
Nigel Oddy, CEO of the International Leisure Group, which sold the club on, said: “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.”
