Legacy Golf Advisors LLP (LGA) has been appointed to manage Charleton Golf Club on the Charleton Estate in Fife, Scotland. The Bonde family, owners of the Estate, are embarking on a development plan for the Estate and growing the golf business is key to this, and have appointed LGA to work alongside the current team at Charleton. Offering management support across all departments, LGA plans to focus on increasing membership numbers, sales, marketing, and agronomy.
Charleton Golf Club — a par 71 championship parkland course with commanding views of Bass Rock and the Firth of Forth — was opened by President George Bush Snr. in 1994, and is situated just 15 miles from St Andrews. The clubhouse suffered a devastating fire in May 2020, and the onset of the pandemic proved a real challenge for the Estate. However, the appointment of LGA alongside the development plans for 14 eco-lodges and a new clubhouse is the start of a new era for Charleton, with the development scheduled to be finished in time for the 2022 Open Championship in St Andrews.
Commenting on the appointment of Legacy Golf Advisors LLP, owner, Michael Bonde commented: “Since meeting with LGA in 2020, it was evident that the team’s expertise and experience at LGA are unparalleled. It was a very easy decision for us at Charleton to appoint LGA to manage our golf offering, and we very much look forward to working with them on developing an exciting future for our Estate.”
Founding partner of LGA, Stuart Gillett added: “This is an exciting opportunity for LGA to help the Estate grow Charleton Golf Club and deliver on what is undoubtedly a club with huge potential in the heart of the golfing mecca that is Fife. We very much look forward to working with the Bonde family and all the staff at Charleton to help grow the business and improve the golf offering in a long term, sustainable manner.”
