Crown Golf acquires American Golf UK
Crown Golf has acquired American Golf UK from its US parent company, becoming the largest golf club operator in Europe.
The new business will manage a total of 55 golf courses at 31 properties across the UK with 27,000 members and 1,500 employees.
The newly enlarged group will initially focus on the continuing development of grassroots and junior golf, the expansion of its member benefits package and the rollout of structured academy coaching across the estate.
Chief executive of Crown Golf, John Weir, said: “This acquisition provides a tremendous opportunity to combine best practice from two of the industry’s leading operators and set a new benchmark for golf management.
“The combined group will be very strong financially, creating an excellent platform for future acquisition and consolidation and allowing us to continue to invest in and improve the current portfolio of courses.”
