About

Dacorum Borough Council is seeking a provider to manage Little Hay Golf Complex, an established public golf facility in Dacorum that opened in 1977 and serves traditional golfers and the wider community. The complex includes an 18-hole golf course, a 23-bay floodlit driving range, a 6-hole pitch and put course, FootGolf, Disc Golf, a clubhouse with bar and restaurant, and a greenskeeper shed; the club supports seniors, ladies, juniors and men’s sections and runs mixed competitions. In June 2025 LHGC was awarded Highly Recommended status by Golfshake. The course has been leased to Absolutely Together since 2021, with that lease expiring on 31 August 2026, and the Council is seeking a long-term operator on a leisure management contract basis rather than a lease.
