Chance to own a North Yorkshire golf club with house and outbuildings with potential

It’s not every day that a golf club comes up for sale in a prime spot complete with 18 hole course, driving range, clubhouse, a four bedroom home and an annexe, which is why Lister Haigh is expecting plenty of interest from would-be buyers.

Spofforth Golf Club, originally a family farm, opened in 1994 and is in an idyllic and sought-after location in the village of Follifoot, which sits between Harrogate and Wetherby. The golf course has been developed over a number of years into a successful lifestyle business and still has an extensive range of agricultural buildings offering potential.

The course, which also has a greenkeeping complex and extensive car park, is laid out over an undulating and partly wooded landscape that extends to 130 acres and sales agent Lister Haigh say that the property offers immense potential for expansion as a golf, sports and leisure business and there is also a chance to create an impressive dwelling in a countryside setting and/or to use the property for an alternative use.

Manor Farm house is a bungalow with a sitting room, kitchen, utility room, lounge/diner, four bedrooms with vrews over the golf course, a bathroom and a garden. There is also a garage providing secure parking and additional storage space and the private drive allows for ample parking for residents and guests.

bathroom and spacious double bedroom plus a patio and garden.

The golf club buildings include the clubhouse and shop, greenkeeping facilities and stores, farm buildings plus the clubhouse has a café, kitchenette with storeroom, ladies and gents changing room/W.C.s, and a covered deck. The greenkeeping facilities comprise part of an extensive range of general-purpose farm buildings and their associated yard.

Spofforth Golf Course is operated as a pay and play golf facility, without any memberships. Whilst the business is currently operated on a low-key basis to suit the current owners’ lifestyles, the potential for commercialisation is obvious. The current headline green fee charges for 18 (9) holes are £18.00 (£13.00) weekday and £20.00 (£13.00) weekends. Visit Spofforth Golf Club.
