Home of mental illness

[Chris_Blakely]

Atwood Lake Resort closed the 18 hole course in 2010 and the par 3 course in 2016
It appears the property was sold and will become a drug rehabilitation center - not mental illness per say . .  .

Can Oxford Golf Club be seen from Warneford Hospital?

Can Oxford Golf Club be seen from Warneford Hospital?

Not the Warneford but the Churchill hospital. The endocrine unit, of which I have been a patient since it opened, has a small parking lot that is right behind the seventeenth green. I became much warier about parking there after playing Southfield, airmailing the green on 17 and watching my ball bounce across the car park....


Eventually, I suspect, the ongoing expansion of the Churchill will put paid to Southfield. The property is only leased, and car parking at the hospital is now getting very silly, to the extent that I have had to drive round the site for half an hour looking for a space on more than one occasion.

When Vardon was staying at Mundesley Sanatorium, he played the course on occasion and scored his one and only hole in one there.

Chris, Mundesley was for TB (see above).

Thanks, Adam. I learned about Warneford, fwiw, in Ved Mehta's Up at Oxford (1992).

Thanks, Adam. I learned about Warneford, fwiw, in Ved Mehta's Up at Oxford (1992).

Greg, while Mundesley was originally for TB, it became a drug and alcohol rehab center in the 1990's.  Last year, however, it opened as a mental health treatment center.  It was 18 holes but was reduced to 9 holes at some point and I'm not sure whether those currently remain. 


I mentioned Vardon's ace because while he was at Mundesley for TB, it's likely the rest and time from golf helped with his exhaustion, stress and possible bouts with depression alluded to in, "The Greatest Game...."  Borrowing a golf club and after having not played for a good time, he goes out at the suggestion of medical personnel and scores his one and only ace, ever. 


At any rate, I believe Mundesley falls into what you were asking in large part, although I don't know about the clubhouse.

Thanks for elaborating, Chris. The present Southern Hill Hospital?
