Change for the
better at Fairhaven
“A design classic” is how Spencer Grimwood, project manager at changing room specialists
Crown Sports Lockers describes the newly refurbished locker rooms at Fairhaven Golf Club,
Lytham St Annes.
n Lancashire’s `Golf Coast`,
Fairhaven has transformed
its clubhouse during 2019 –
men’s and women’s changing areas a
key first stage of five phases under a
£1.3m modernisation.

“Light and dark shades of walnut, with
innovative wash and shower facilities.”
“The project is all about creating
modern, clean, airy and stylish
provision to enhance member
facilities,” explains general manager
Martin Robinson, “because the
clubhouse was simply not up
to standard for a destination of
Fairhaven’s status.”
Completed in spring 2019, the
£250,000 Phase 1 saw Crown
manufacture and install a bespoke
scheme in both locker rooms
under a project that also included
repositioning the clubhouse entrance
to the rear of the building.
Recognised as one of the finest
Championship courses in the north of
England, Fairhaven’s Top 100, 18-hole
links-style course is hosting regional
qualifying for the Open Championship
between 2016 and 2020 and saw final
qualifying for the Seniors Open in 2019.
With a buoyant membership of 800,
a healthy waiting list and thriving
women’s and juniors’ section,
Fairhaven was keen to match the
quality of the clubhouse with that out
on course.

“The interior
designers have
come up with
something special,”
Spencer says.
