He said, “North Weald Golf Club attracted huge interest in the market, reflecting its commercial trading location and great untapped trading potential. As anticipated, the opportunity was of particular appeal to new entrants to the golf market, who continue to ensure that the demand for and hence the price of golf courses remains buoyant.”
