New haus marks 25 years of Styal!
STYAL Golf Club has enjoyed 25 years of excellent golf and hospitality over the past 25 years since it came into existence.
With an excellent driving range, par three course and mature 18 hole course it has proved to be one of the most innovative clubs in the area and very proud of the way in which it has encouraged junior golf to have one of the strongest junior sections in the county and also helped beginners develop their golf to become good golfers.
Their latest project is the renovation of their clubhouse which has been newly cladded to give it a new look and increase seating externally and have soft furnishing inside.
Styal Director of Golf Glynn Traynor, who has been at the club since it was founded said: “The catering part of the club has been taken over by Chris Leigh, as leaseholder of food and beverage, who has 30 years experience in the hospitality industry and we now have waitress service and fresh food is prepared daily.
“The new team have extended opening hours for both the restaurant and bar and quickly created a vibrant atmosphere at the club with the clubhouse rebranded as the Styal ‘Clubhaus’.
“Both members and visitors can now enjoy some excellent hospitality as well as all the other special featured that we have at Styal.”
