Merrist Wood Golf Club in Guildford has been put up for sale by the fixed charge receiver with a guide price of £2.25m.
The 18-hole, 6,909-yard, par 72 championship golf course, which also includes practice facilities and a 8,177 sq ft clubhouse, sits on a 210.49-acre site.
The owners have been seeking planning permission to re-contour the landscape and re-model the golf course to an enhanced design, which has been created in conjunction with European Tour professional golfer Sam Torrance.
Due to this process, since the autumn of 2023 only nine holes have been maintained to a basic but playable standard, with the remaining nine holes closed but maintained as a golf landscape. The clubhouse is also in need of upgrading.
Kay Griffiths, a director in the leisure and trade related team at Savills, which has been appointed to market the opportunity, said: “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.”
