West Berkshire Golf Club, a freehold proprietary club nestled in the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, between Lambourn, Wantage and Newbury, has been put up for sale.
Situated some 60 miles from London, and with easy access to the M4, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an established golf business with residential accommodation in Berkshire.
Opened in 1975, West Berkshire Golf Club enjoys an established membership and a Golfshake 2024 Outstanding Venue rating. This relaxed and friendly venue offers a picturesque 7,008-yard, par 73 course playing through a wooded download setting, practice facilities, a 4,400 square foot clubhouse, and a three-bedroom bungalow – all set in 117 acres.
The property is being offered to market as the current owners wish to retire.
Ben Allen at HMH said: “West Berkshire Golf Club is a special venue and a great opportunity for the new owner. This very attractive and tranquil golf course has a unique appeal. Readily accessible from the M4, yet so peaceful and with reaching views over the surrounding Downs, this is a wonderful opportunity for someone seeking a lifestyle golf business.
“The business undoubtedly offers great scope for commercialisation, perhaps most readily through refurbishment of the clubhouse and more commercial management practices. Unusually, the course comes with residential accommodation, which is located close to the clubhouse.”
Allen continued: “Over the last 18 months HMH has sold 14 golf courses / golf hotels, with a further six properties currently under offer. Buyers include overseas hoteliers, UK-based corporate golf operators, and lifestyle buyers. While West Berkshire is most likely to appeal to a lifestyle buyer, it will be interesting to see whether the obvious potential to diversify the business will bring others into play.”
