forest hill golf club “We also arrange tournaments for the beginners and team building sessions in the form of day camps during the summer holidays. During the winter months the club provides free coaching for juniors on the driving range. The clubhouse is open to the public and we provide a safe and friendly environment for children and family groups. “The Directors Andrew & Artemis Sparsis (brothers)have never stopped spending since they took over the club in 2008. They have improved and modernised the clubhouse, with the addition of new changing/locker rooms, extended the pro shop to 2000 square feet, boasting the largest on course shop in the area. “We have on-going projects on the course improving bunkers, drainage and layout. We have just completed a new water hazard on the ninth hole much to the despair of some of the members. We like to keep it interesting! “This year we are focusing on publicising the club, as many people still have the impression that all golf clubs are members only and as we are open to the public we feel it is important that we make it clear that anyone can use our facilities. We have also expanded our advertising via websites connected with Visitor Uk, Venues4funerals and ukbride. “We have noticed golf membership figures have reduced over the last 3 years so our biggest challenge will be increasing our revenue through general green fees and income supporting the bars and restaurant. Over the coming years our aims are to increase revenue and expand our services.” www.sportip.biz 77
