“This sale is a ‘one-off’ with literally something for everyone.

“The clubhouse has a wide and varied range of furniture and furnishings including dining room tables and chairs, mobile hot food service counters, hot cupboards and a bar.

“There are also extensive quantities of glassware, crockery and kitchen equipment, together with office equipment, golf-related memorabilia and even Christmas decorations.”

The six-metre oak panelled bar, which has a black, polished granite top will be sold with the back bar counter and security roller blind.

The club shop will also be open from 9am to 5pm on the day to sell off an extensive range of golf clothing and accessories, privately.
