We have worked closely with Licensed Solutions and the on-site team to maintain and enhance the member experience, identifying prior failures and ensuring that the Club is operated to the high standards members have come to expect. We remain fully supportive of the existing membership base and look forward to welcoming both new members and visitors to the Club.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Savills said the combination of an operational golf business, diverse revenue streams and recent investment could appeal to a range of potential buyers.<\/p>\n<p>Justine Morris, associate director in the Leisure and Trading team at Savills said: \u201cOpportunities to acquire an operational golf and leisure business of this scale, combined with such a diverse range of revenue streams, are rare. Forest Hill Golf Club benefits from a strong regional catchment, significant recent investment and clear opportunities for future growth, making it an attractive proposition for a wide range of buyers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>119-acre leisure venue is being marketed after its former owners went into administration
