Chart Hills GC up for sale

By Leaderboard Group

A letter has been sent to members of Chart Hills Golf Club revealing that the Leaderboard group are placing the club up for sale.

The letter – which is from the owners Paul and Jennifer Gibbons – states that: ‘Over the past 18 years the Leaderboard group has grown and evolved from a company with just one hotel into a business that now has three successful resorts.

‘Our long term strategy for the group is to focus on our resort business and this has meant that after long consideration Jennifer and I have reluctantly decided to put Chart Hills Golf Club up for sale.

‘Chart Hills Golf Club is a fantastic golf course and in my view the best in the group but it falls out of our strategic plans for the future.

‘We want to take this opportunity to assure you of our continued commitment to Chart Hills Golf Club until a suitable purchaser is found. We will continue with the planned bunker refurbishment programme, planned Capital investments and will ensure the Brabazon trophy takes place at Chart Hills Golf Club in 2017.’

The Leaderboard group also own Dale Hill, The Oxfordshire, Sandford Springs and Leaderboard Golf Centre, which is located in Reading.

The course at Chart Hills was designed by Nick Faldo and Steve Smyers, and opened in 1993. It hosted The Ladies English Open, and is a European Tour Qualifying School venue.

The course is also famed for its incredible bunkering. So here's a little tip to help you out if you are planning to play it.
