The Club Company Acquires The Nottinghamshire G&CC

As one of the UK’s leading country club owners and operators, The Club Company acquired its 18th country club this week — The Nottinghamshire Golf & Country Club from local entrepreneur Alan Hardy. The Club Company offers members and visitors an array of golf, health, leisure and wellbeing facilities, with this latest acquisition further supporting ongoing confidence in the golf and leisure industry, with an additional 10 million adult golfers playing the sport worldwide since 2016.

Situated in the heart of the Nottinghamshire countryside and voted The Midlands’ best golf course, this latest acquisition offers 36 challenging holes of golf and popular driving range set in 340 acres of rolling countryside. The club is home to a 30-room boutique hotel — which brings the group’s hotel portfolio up to eight hotels. The Nottinghamshire also boasts a critically acclaimed restaurant overlooking the courses, as well as a thriving events and wedding destination.

With one of the largest ladies’ sections in the country, The Nottinghamshire also aligns perfectly with The Club Company’s commitment to raise the profile of women’s golf and champion a more inclusive culture — a goal supported by the recent signing of the R&A’s Women in Golf Charter.

Richard Calvert, Chief Executive Officer of The Club Company said: “We are delighted to welcome The Nottinghamshire into The Club Company family. The club has an outstanding reputation and we are committed to building on Alan’s hard work by continuing to invest in the club and its facilities for the benefit of members and visitors alike.”

Alan Hardy added: “It is with mixed emotions that I can confirm I’ve come to the end of my 14-year journey with The Nottinghamshire. I am proud that we’ve created something special in that time and now have a fantastic team of over 100 people. The Nottinghamshire now joins The Club Company as their 18th club, and I leave the club in their more than capable hands.”
