Crown Golf / Batchworth Park

Isn't this pretty much what happened at Merrist Wood, another Crown course?

No! MW was fully owned by CG and was simply sold - though to a group that was/is 'Property related'.

Isn’t that where brexit’s biggest fan plays?

Yes DelC players their, think he was seniors captain last year..

Just to make sure I've understood: Batchworth is a private member's club, and the members hired Crown Golf to manage it?

In which case, if there's a majority of members who are unhappy with what's happening, why can't they just call an EGM and fire Crown Golf? It doesn't need to be at the club, they can hire a hall elsewhere. Of course there'd then be the problem of how to run the place, but surely that would be preferable to having it asset stripped?

(Incidentally, I only played Batchworth once but thought it was a nice course)

Batchworth isn't a private members club in the usual set up.
It has always been owned by a company it has changed hands a couple of times.
The lease arrangement are confusing.

Although there are a good few golf clubs in the area, a lot have filled up their memberships after Stoke Park closed last year
