Personal golf courses

Who would build a 9 hole course and not get a greenkeeper in? Like buying a private jet and flying it yourself. Worthless.

The course was already built when he bought the house.

It is not that he cannot afford a greenkeeper the problem is finding someone to do the job.

Wouldn’t have a course. If I had the cash, it’d be a fully artificial, but top notch short game area. Less maintenance, and great to just chip a few, pitch a few etc.

And a large simulator room for full shots in the dry

I'd just buy a course and build a massive house on it lol.

If I had the money that this guy does, I probably would build 9 holes. I was going to say 3, but honestly if moneys not object, why not.... you’d need a few full time staff, they could keep 9 holes impeccable.

I’d also have courses across the world because why the hell not.

I’d also probably buy the club I’m a member of at the moment, just because.

A former work mate of mine had a neighbour who commuted to London by helicopter while he was taking the train in for a couple of hours each way. Sound like the same (type of?) guy.

I probably would like to, but likely not do it. It must be very hard to maintain, but in the other hand, at that money I could hire a couple if green keepers.

But I surely give the GC quad guys a call for advise about how big my extension should be ...

Now, let’s check the Euromillion ...

There's no way that anyone that lives two hours outside of London and commutes by helicopter should still have neighbours.....

If I came into a bit of money the first thing I'd do is find a house that didn't have any

If I had the room for a proper course then I'd do it 100%. No hold ups, can play until it's dark and walk in the house, what's not to love.

imagine all the comps you’d win

At that level your next door neighbours are a 20 minute drive away.

Elon Musk?

Good guess. Bernard Arnault, I'd be surprised if anyone actually lives there. Maybe one of his kids.

I recall finding this on Google Maps whilst bored at work one day. “Wait, there’s a golf course there...” - Birch Grove in Sussex.

Surely has to be the best “back garden” golf facilities in the country!!

150 rounds a year played!!! My club will surpass that on 29th March ?

I wouldn't.

My dads work had a 9 hole par 3 course on its grounds. I played my first game here some 30 years ago. At the time the trees were mere saplings.

It's been left unattended for many a year now.

Often wondered how many other work places in the UK would have a course attached.

 

[Pathetic Shark]

I'd buy my own course and also a big house on it. Then run a free forum invitation event ...... off scratch

 

[USER1999]

With that wealth it probably depends on level of fame. I know there are clubs which cater for the famous but you may want a course you can just play yourself.

Just join Swinley Forest then.
