Crown Golf drops club hire fees
In bid to bring in more players
Words: John Dean
Crown Golf's St Mellion in Cornwall
The UK’s largest golf club operator, Crown Golf, has dropped club hire fees at its venues in a bid to attract as many newcomers as possible to the sport, and also to attract lapsed players back to golf.
The free club hire deal also includes three golf balls, a pitch mark repairer and some tees to get players started.
“It’s another barrier lowered,” said Rob Climas, the group’s Director of Operations. “Making a profit from club hire isn’t why we or most other clubs are in business, and we realised that charging for club hire felt a bit outdated these days.
“If you’re beginning to experiment with golf, or perhaps you’ve let your old golf clubs go over the years, this is ideal for you. Across the group we have plenty of clubs to lend out, so we thought we would put them to use and save our customers some money.”
Local terms and conditions may apply as regards the footwear – golfers are asked to check this at the time of booking – and the free club hire is subject to availability. To access the free club hire deal, golfers are asked to put down a £20 refundable deposit before they play.
