LHGC is an established public golf facility located in Dacorum, offering a range of opportunities for both traditional golfers and the wider community.

With many mixed competitions played throughout the year, golfers from all sections have an opportunity to share their love of golf. In June 2025, LHGC was awarded ‘Highly Recommended’ status for 2025 by Golfshake, one of the leading independent golf course review platforms in the UK and Europe. LHGC includes the following facilities: • 18-hole golf course • 23-bay floodlit driving range • 6-hole pitch and put course • FootGolf • Disc Golf • Clubhouse (including bar and restaurant) • Greenskeeper shed The course has been leased to Absolutely Together since 2021, having previously been managed by Dacorum Sports Trust. This lease expires on 31 August 2026, and the Council are seeking a long-term operator on a leisure management contract basis rather than a lease. ## Lots (1) ### Lot LOT-0001: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `LOT-0001` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 92621000 - **Delivery regions:** UKH - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £30,000,000 - **Contract Period:** 31/08/2026 to 31/08/2041 - **Renewal published:** yes ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (1) - **Award:** 1 (pending) - Supplier(s): **Absolutely Together** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-PPON:PYCQ-5693-YVJW` - Value: £3,000,000 (inc.
