THE prestigious golf course that Justin Rose won his maiden tournament on is up for sale for £3.75m.

Patshull Park Hotel Golf and Country Club in the Midlands is ready to be brought back to life after previously closing down during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The 6,412-yard course is well known for the part it played in major champion Justin Rose‘s career.

Rose, 44, secured his first ever tournament victory on the Patshull Park greens when he won the Golf Foundation U14s Championship back in 1993.

Now he is a US Open champion, Ryder Cup hero, 11-time PGA Tour event winner and previous world No1.

Perhaps Rose could dig into his pockets and splash out for the course that started his journey with some of the £50million+ he has banked on the PGA Tour over the past 20 years.

Whoever does fork out the cash for the “redundant” course will gain a Grade Two listed building dating back to the early 1700s, a 49-room hotel and over 200 acres of land on the Shropshire-Staffordshire border.

The property also features a fishing lodge and picturesque lakes on its grounds.

The course and hotel shut down in 2020 and staff were made redundant after the company went into liquidation.

It was soon purchased by Staffordshire-based family business Mercer Farming who planned to use the land to farm sustainably.

But the family have now listed the land for sale after claiming the hotel and golf course are “surplus to requirements”.

However, the future of the course could yet be in doubt as estate agents Fisher German outlined a vision that could see a potential buyer use the land as a residential redevelopment.

Stuart Flint, Partner at Fisher German, said: “The redundant hotel is substantial and offers a spectacular lakeside redevelopment or refurbishment opportunity.

“Patshull Park is an outstanding property with a fascinating history and an abundance of potential uses and redevelopment opportunities.

“Set amidst unspoiled archetypal English countryside, the property is located within easy reach of local amenities and is less than seven miles from the nearest junction of the M54, making it the perfect setting for any redevelopment.”
