Hampton Court Palace Golf Club has changed owners this week.

The popular course, just over the Surrey Border, was previously owned by Crown Golf.

However it along with five other courses across the South of England have been sold to Get Golfing, who are a rival of Crown Golf.

Get Golfing was set up in 2018 as an incorporated charity with the specific purpose of increasing participation in golf.

Ben Allen of HMH, the property agents which handled the sale, said: "It is encouraging for the golf market to report this landmark sale, especially at times of uncertainty.

"This confidential disposal was brought about by our ability to match our understanding of a client's long-term objectives, with our detailed knowledge of specialist purchaser requirements in this niche sector.

"This acquisition makes Get Golfing one of the country's leading golf operators. We wish the charity and its staff every success with these clubs and its future expansion plans."
