Bristol’s Stockwood Vale Golf Club has been put up for sale with a £1.42m guide price. The mature course, which has a profitable trading record, is being offered for sale through GVA’s Bristol-based specialist hotels and leisure team.
Included in the package are a high-quality 18-hole, 6,060-yard (par 71) golf course, 14-bay flood-lit golf range, practise facilities, and an two-storey clubhouse which includes a three- bedroom apartment, along with a modern green-keeping complex.
The course sits on around 61 hectares (153 acres) on the outskirts of Bristol, eight miles from Bath, in an area with a resident population of 483,800 within 20 minutes’ drive.
This family-owned club has more than 550 members and generates an annual turnover of around £800,000.
Club director Michael Ramsay said: “Stockwood Vale Golf Club is a busy, profitable and mature golf course that has never closed due to wet weather.
“The club is ideally positioned on the edge of Bristol – and has many spectacular holes and numerous fabulous views. I am very grateful to the members and our staff for their support since we opened the club in 1991 and am looking forward to seeing the club continue to flourish in years to come.”
The sale is being handled by Ben Allen of GVA, who added: “This is a great opportunity to own a successful club with buoyant membership, and develop an already growing business. The club has been in the same hands since opening 23 years ago, and is only being offered for sale due to the ill health of one of the directors. The club has benefitted from significant investment and has enjoyed increased membership over the past four years, along with a very consistent revenue stream.”
