Link Golf UK took on Middlesbrough Municipal in April 2025. It is an 18 hole course with a driving range that should have been one of the best public golf facilities in the North East.
Before
- A course and clubhouse starved of investment for years.
- A dated, tired clubhouse, with a kitchen that was never open.
- Food available once in a blue moon.
- A driving range with old mats and tired balls.
After
- A refurbished range, with TrackMan.
- A new bar that serves range customers, pay and play golfers and members in the same place.
- A clubhouse open from 7am until 11pm every day, with hot food and drinks seven days a week.
- Manjaros Kitchen and Cocktails, now in the clubhouse.
- New machinery, a new maintenance programme and finished drainage work on the course.
The numbers
About £1.4 million has been invested over twenty months, and turnover has grown from £615,000 to £1.1 million.
The staff who came over from the previous operator have said how good it is to see money going back into their club.
Tee times and range bookings are on the Middlesbrough Municipal page. Andrew Terry wrote up the opening of Manjaros on his Substack.
