Porthpean Golf Club in Cornwall Sold by HMH: Golf Business News

Porthpean Golf Club, a picturesque golf course located on Cornwall’s southern coastline, has been sold to local entrepreneur Glyn Rowett for an undisclosed amount. The club, which was put up for sale last September with offers invited in excess of £1.25m, has been a popular destination for golf enthusiasts since its establishment in 1992.

The 18-hole, 5,253-yard, par 67 golf course offers stunning views over St Austell Bay, with the front nine playing through mature parkland and woodland, while the back holes open up to a coastal setting with expansive sea views. The property also includes a clubhouse, greenkeeping building, and ample car parking, all set on 87 acres of freehold land.

Ben Allen, a consultant at HMH Golf & Leisure, expressed his excitement over the sale, stating that the unique setting of Porthpean Golf Club was a significant draw for potential buyers. Glyn Rowett, the new owner, plans to retain the club’s membership ethos while investing in new facilities to enhance the overall experience for members and the local community.

Mark Grieve, a seasoned Club Manager with 30 years of experience, has joined the club to help implement these plans for growth and improvement. The sale of Porthpean Golf Club represents a new chapter for the popular golf destination, with opportunities for further commercialization and development on the horizon.
