The final part of a multi-year golf course project at Stoke Park Country Club in Buckinghamshire, UK, is now underway.

The club’s Lane Jackson course is now being worked on, following on from similar projects in recent years on the Colt and Alison nines.

All 27 holes at Stoke Park were originally designed by Harry Colt.

Work on the Lane Jackson nine is being led by course construction specialist John Greasley Ltd, who will be working closely with the club’s director of golf Stuart Collier.

“We’ve worked very closely with Charlie Greasley and his team over the past couple of years and have been delighted with the results, so it made sense for them to complete the job they started,” commented Collier.

The Lane Jackson nine is set to reopen on 20 April 2018.
