A party was held at Cowdray Park Golf Club in West Sussex last month to celebrate the re-opening of the venue’s clubhouse bar following a five-week refurbishment.
Despite snowy weather, a large group of Cowdray members and staff gathered in the newly redecorated bar at the Midhurst-based venue to toasts its re-opening with canapés and Prosecco.
Alongside Cowdray members, the party was attended by Cowdray Park’s chief executive Jonathan Russell, director of golf Tim Allen, head chef Jon Lander, food and beverage manager Tony Dark, and bar manager Chris Strudwick.
Following the renovations, the club now boasts a dedicated dining area in the bar, a casual seating area, where visitors can relax and enjoy food and drink, and a soft seating area. In the bar area there is a new trophy cabinet enabling all the club’s trophies to be on display together for the first time.
Lady Cowdray oversaw the interior design of the clubhouse, ensuring that the room is stylish, modern and welcoming. On the bar’s walls are stunning new images of the golf course and the clubhouse by local photographer and club member Chris Orange.
Speaking at the launch, Tim Allen said: “We are delighted with the improvements, and hope that everyone – members, visitors and families – will come and enjoy these smart new surroundings.”
The club’s pro shop has also been refurbished, with a new display area for shoes, clothing and equipment. The shop, which is run by Shaun Clarke, has recently joined Foremost Golf, the largest golf retail group in the UK, and members are now able to order golf products at very competitive prices from top suppliers.
In order to celebrate the new-look facilities the club is hosting an open day on Saturday, May 5 from 10-am-3pm, where all are welcome to experience what the club has to offer.
