Classy Merseyside club Formby Hall Golf Resort & Spa has launched Club Class Parking, a valet and pampering service for golf clubs. 

Formby Hall  is piloting the idea while its transformation into a four star residential PGA academy is underway.  Designed to take the strain off players and keep golf clubs in tip-top condition, the service is open to all professional and amateur golfers at no extra charge.

Staff will relieve players of their golf bags as they come off the course and treat their vital pieces of equipment  to their own four-star stay in the Club Class Parking area.  Trained ‘valeters’ will clean, polish and generally pamper players’ clubs and even wax the leather on the golf bags,  before storing them while the owner relaxes over a clubhouse pint. 

The initiative will work on the same principle as valet parking for luxury vehicles at the world’s top hotels and is being launched to coincide with the opening of the resort’s 62 bedroom hotel.   

Director of marketing, Gaynor Black said:  “We want people to enjoy the array of relaxing facilities Formby Hall Golf Resort & Spa has to offer and not worrying about cleaning and maintaining their clubs.  We are determined to make this the premier resort of its kind in Britain, with no luxury spared for our players and guests.” 

Formby Hall’s 62 bedroom hotel is due to open in September and overlooks stunning parkland, an 18-hole course, a brand new nine hole par three course and a short game practice area.  Guests can also indulge and unwind at the new spa, which is set to open later in the year. The resort will also boast excellent new facilities for events and conferences.

Formby Hall Golf Resort & Spa is just 30 minutes from Liverpool city centre and 10 minutes from  Southport. To make a reservation call 01704 875 699 or visit www.formbyhallgolfclub.co.uk to find out more.
