Park Hill Golf Club, Seagrave, Loughborough. (1994 – 2018) 

The club was founded in 1994.

Eighteen-hole challenging undulating course with water features on several holes.

The club and course closed in January 2018.

The golf course is the proposed site of the new Leicester City Football Club training centre. The training ground was approved in October 2018.

The following report was published on Friday 19 January 2018 - "It is understood that the gates of Park Hill Golf Club in Leicestershire were locked earlier this week and staff were notified as they turned up for work on Tuesday that they had been made redundant. Some members recently bought three-year memberships at the club, while an upcoming wedding at the club costing more than £2,000 is now unlikely to happen." 

This didn’t stop angry members setting up a Facebook page in the wake of the sudden closure, blasting the closure as ‘cowardly’. A status on the page – called Parkhill Sticktogether, read: “This is a Facebook page for everyone who wants to stick together to help each other who are effected (sic) by Park Hill’s cowardly closure."
