DBC (BH) Little Hay Golf Complex Leisure Management Contract

Overview

Dacorum Borough Council (“the Council”) wishes to select and appoint a suitable Provider for the management of Little Hay Golf Complex (“LHGC”) and invites prospective Providers to submit a Tender to meet the Council’s requirements. LHGC is an established public golf facility located in Dacorum, offering a range of opportunities for both traditional golfers and the wider community. The Complex first opened in 1977 and has grown significantly over the years. It has thriving and friendly seniors, ladies, juniors and men’s sections. With many mixed competitions played throughout the year, golfers from all sections have an opportunity to share their love of golf. In June 2025, LHGC was awarded ‘Highly Recommended’ status for 2025 by Golfshake, one of the leading independent golf course review platforms in the UK and Europe. LHGC includes the following facilities: • 18-hole golf course • 23-bay floodlit driving range • 6-hole pitch and put course • FootGolf • Disc Golf • Clubhouse (including bar and restaurant) • Greenskeeper shed The course has been leased to Absolutely Together since 2021, having previously been managed by Dacorum Sports Trust. This lease expires on 31 August 2026, and the Council are seeking a long-term operator on a leisure management contract basis rather than a lease.
