Announced this morning, that Ramac Ltd, the holding company that owns Prince's, Sandwich, has bought the Nick Faldo/Steve Smyers-designed Chart Hills course in Biddenden, Kent. Chart Hills, which was a fairly big money development back in the early 90s, had fallen on some hard times recently, with its parent company going bust. Last time I played there I was told the maintenance crew was down to five guys, not nearly enough for a course with huge amounts of sand bunkering, including the famous 200-yard long Anaconda bunker.
