A NEW Forest golf club is officially under new management.

Stellar Asset Management has announced the successful acquisition of Bramshaw Golf Club and The Bell Inn, New Forest from previous owners, the Crosthwaite-Eyre family on behalf of its IHT Portfolio.

With a portfolio of hotels and golf clubs, including near-neighbour Paultons Golf Centre and Murrayshall Country House Hotel and Golf Club in Perthshire, as well as numerous hotels around the country, Stellar’s latest acquisition marks another bold venture into the vibrant leisure market as the company once again uses its expertise to unlock the business potential of another outstanding facility.

Working in partnership with Ben Blackburn Golf, both the golf club and the inn will undergo a number of considered refurbishments, with the aim of elevating all areas to the same high standard of other Stellar properties.

Jonathan Gain, chief executive of Stellar Asset Management, said: “We are incredibly excited to welcome Bramshaw Golf Club and The Bell Inn into our portfolio of leisure properties and we are looking forward to enhancing the potential of the golf course, clubhouse facilities and the inn for the benefit of members and visitors.

"This is an exciting space for us, and the popularity of both courses to members and visitors offers great potential for our investors.”

Located in the heart of the New Forest, Bramshaw Golf Club boasts a thriving membership and two beautiful 18-hole courses, the Manor and the Forest.
