Future Developments on the Codrington Course.
At the 5th and 12th holes we plan to fill in the pond that joins the 5th tee. The 5th tee can then be raised 1 metre higher to give better visibility and the path re-routed so it does not go as close to the 12th green and apron. A new bunker will take the place of the old pond. The following other works are planned for The Codrington course. Extensions to the 8th and 9th tees will be completed when we have a suitable space in our calendar. A new bunker is proposed 40 yards short of the 9th green. We also plan to create some more pin positions on the 3rd green in the front left. New bunkering at the 2nd both to the rear of the green and infront is on our mind as well as the frontal bunker at 16 which needs re-construction. We are considering a greenside bunker front right of the 11th.
The Stranahan course is still a work in progress and we hope to add bunkers at several holes as we monitor play, we intend to add a bunker 25 yards short of the green on the 8th, also bunkers at 13th that affect the tee shot and second shot, we are also considering a small pot bunker at the 3rd, in the right half of the fairway at 225 yards. We hope to build new tees at the 2nd, 7th, 9th, 10th, 15th and 18th holes. A number of bunkers will be grassed notably at the 3rd, 4th, 11th, 15th due to water problems.

Luckland have a 50% interest in L & N Golf Management Limited, which holds a 99 year lease over a 36 hole golf course just North of Reading, near Henley-on-Thames called Greys Green.
We obtained planning to upgrade this course to a high quality course and the work will be spread over 4 years working on nine holes each year. New greens and tees are being constructed. We are installing an automatic irrigation system on Greens, tees and fairways and re-shaping a number of fairways. We are close to completing the front nine of the red course and hope to open the completed red course in the spring. The White course is under construction. The subsoil is a mixture of free draining sand gravel and flint shingle.
