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 in the building that was never open.
- Food available once in a blue moon.
- A driving range with old mats and tired balls.
After
- A fully refurbished range, with TrackMan Range.
- 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
Turnover has grown from £615,000 to £1.1 million. Around £1.4 million has been invested.
The staff who came over from the previous operator have said how good it is to see money going back into their club. You can read how the opening night went in Andrew's piece on Manjaros.
