Commenting on the acquisition, John Weir, of Crown Golf, said, “We are impressed by what has been created at The Bristol and feel privileged to be part of re-establishing the club as one of the foremost golfing venues in the local community.”
Crown Golf is the largest owner-operator of golf courses in Europe with 56 courses and 32 clubs under their control. The company also operates hotels and health & fitness clubs.
The Bristol, a members’ club as well as a popular conference and banqueting venue, commands impressive views across the Severn Estuary and with golf facilities that include a challenging 18-hole course, practice range, golf academy and 9-hole par-three course, it welcomes both experienced players and beginners.
Full members of The Bristol Golf Club can now also benefit from Crown Golf’s “Open Play” membership, a unique benefit which gives them playing rights to all 56 courses in the group – the sort of variety and challenge that most golfers thrive on, and no other membership package can offer.
Graham Randall, on behalf of BDO Stoy Hayward, said: “The Bristol is a good club and potentially a very strong business. We believe that we have sold it to a company that will take it to the next level”.
