Warrington-based American Golf, has bought the High Legh Park Golf Club in Knutsford, Cheshire in a £2.7m deal. This is the first time the retailer will own an entire golf complex inclusive of courses, retail outlet, conference and event facilities plus a food and beverage offering.
The High Legh Park Golf Club investment forms part of the business’ growth strategy. It is the latest of the significant site investments American Golf has made in the past six months. It recently invested £650,000 in its Trafford ‘superstore’ in Greater Manchester, revamped its stores in Milton Keynes and Hull, as well as creating a new flagship store in New Malden, Surrey. It also has a Liverpool store scheduled to open on May 8 and has made significant investment in new golf ranges in Rossendale and Hemingford Abbots.
Gary Favell, American Golf chief executive, said: “High Legh Park Golf Club is a seamless addition to our site portfolio and being in such close proximity to our own Cheshire headquarters it aligns perfectly with our growth strategy. We’re looking forward to investing in the site for the local community and to provide members with the very best facilities.
“The site appeals perfectly to both male and female players of all abilities – and we’re even more excited about the potential of the Junior Academy, which will inspire and develop future golfers.”
