Crown Golf / Batchworth Park

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
 
Bump...

I have a round booked here next Friday. Just wondering what the update was on all these disputes? Are Crown Golf still keeping the course in good nick, or running it into the ground to get people out??
 
It’s actually in pretty good nick, thanks to some new green keeping staff who took over about 9 months ago. The only thing lacking is the catering, as they have a microwave technician, who turns up occasionally!

What time you teeing off as I’m there late afternoon.

Enjoy your round

Not sure exactly what time he booked, but said he aiming for 1-ish Friday afternoon.

I'll make sure I eat before arrival then! Cheers!
 
Is there any update in the lease dispute from 2022?

It wouldn't be a loss to the game if the course was bulldozed for housing. It's a pretty boring golf course surrounded by much more interesting gems like Moor Park, Sandy Lodge, West Herts and Northwood.

Good work, thanks.

The quality of journalism in these local papers / websites is shocking. Headline of "Batchwood golf club" in an article about Batchworth 🤦‍♂️
