Stapleford Park not far from where I live. Golf Course is now NLE (which is a shame apparently its a dispute between hotel and landowner) and hotel still going on under new owners.

He also for a time owned Bovey Castle in Devon, whose golf course was built in 1926 by Abercromby and later redone by Tom Mackenzie.
