A rare opportunity has emerged for golf enthusiasts and investors alike, as Merrist Wood Golf Club in Guildford, Surrey has been listed for sale by Savills with an asking price of £2.25 million.
Set in the stunning Surrey countryside, the 18-hole, 6,909-yard course was originally designed by renowned golf architect David Williams.
Beyond the course itself, the property boasts practice facilities, a purpose-built 8,177 sq. ft. clubhouse, and 210.49 acres of land, offering ample potential for redevelopment.
The course, known for its natural beauty, features a gentle south-facing slope, four lakes, and mature woodland areas, making it a picturesque yet challenging venue for golfers.
Since its opening, it has received high praise, even earning a place among the UK’s top 10 new courses of the 1990s.
Investment Potential in a Prime Location
With its prime Surrey location, the club presents exciting opportunities for prospective buyers. It could either be revitalized as a premier 18-hole golf course or redeveloped for alternative uses, subject to planning permission.
Kay Griffiths, director in the Leisure and Trade-Related team at Savills, emphasized the club’s potential:
“Merrist Wood Golf Course is a substantial landholding in a prime Surrey location with potential to be re-launched as a mature 18-hole golf course or alternatively put to a variety of alternative uses, subject to obtaining the required planning permission. We anticipate substantial interest from a diverse range of potential buyers, as opportunities of this nature rarely arise in such an attractive location.”
With its rich history, stunning landscape, and promising future, Merrist Wood Golf Club is set to attract strong interest from investors and golf lovers alike.
