Abbey Hill commits to course and clubhouse investment

The improvements, which include the first phase of a two-phase clubhouse investment project, and extensive golf course renovations, culminate in the second phase of the planned clubhouse refurbishments, which are slated to start in January 2024.

The first part of the investment saw £350,000 spent on the refurbishment of two main function rooms; the Fairway Suite and the Atrium Suite, with new carpets, bars, lighting, and furniture – a refurbished entrance foyer, the creation of new staff offices, and a rejuvenated coffee bar.

The golf course has also undergone significant improvements in recent months. Abbey Hill is now in the second year of a five-year bunker renovation plan. This includes the refurbishment of every bunker on the course with the latest drainage technology. Additionally, new tees and pathways have been added on two locations around the course.

Phase two of the clubhouse renovation project will begin in January and will involve the installation of new changing rooms and toilets for both men and women, and the installation of a larger kitchen.

Guy Riggott, Head of Operations for BGL Golf, commented on the extensive investment: “We are committed to continually investing in our golf venues, to provide both members and visitors with the best possible golf experience. We are always looking for ways in which to provide exceptional value to members at Abbey Hill, but also to local golfers and people in the community – this significant investment is yet another step towards achieving that goal.”
