Crow Nest Park Sold

After three years of uncertainty, award winning local Golf Course, Crow Nest Park has been sold to Halifax businessman Mick Stansfield. 

The world rated local 9 hole course, located on the picturesque former estate of renowned 19th Century industrialist St Titus Salt, had been up for sale since 2008, when existing owner Richard Harrison, decided to sell because of health issues. The sale is currently proceeding and completion is anticipated for 1st June.

The Club, which is currently riding the crest of a wave with regards to its current record membership levels and its members, can now look forward with a great deal of optimism, as the incoming owner has given a commitment to pursue the provision of improved facilities at the Hove Edge club.

A new Company has been formed which involves current Club Manager, Les Holmes as Managing Director, which has been set up to provide the Management structure to run the new golfing operation. 

Les commented " After a long period when the business was for sale, it’s now time to look forward. I am really optimistic about the future and feel with the expected support of our 350+ members that we will successfully build on the solid foundations that have been established by the outgoing owners, the Harrison family. As a golf club we are very much open for business and we are, although subject to limitations, still looking to grow our membership."

Whilst the current membership levels are high, the club still has a small number of vacancies at both 5 & 7 day membership levels. The Club was founded in 1995 and has since earned several prestigious accolades in recognition of its unique and valued golfing status, including being selected as "Top Yorkshire Golf Club " in 2007 by the Yorkshire Express publication, a "Top 10 - 9 hole Golf Club in the UK, 2009" by National Club Golfer magazine and best of all "One of the top 9 hole courses in the World 2010" by the Golf World Magazine in March of last year.
