The Point at Polzeath appoint Carl Rutherford as new Managing Director

The owners of The Point at Polzeath are delighted to confirm the appointment of Carl Rutherford as its new Managing Director as the progressive Cornish golf club and leisure resort continues to assert itself as one of the South West’s must-visit golfing destinations.

A qualified PGA Coach with extensive experience in the food and beverage industry, Rutherford brings with him vast experience, having held the position of Managing Director at Bearwood Lakes Golf Club in Surrey for the past 13 years. In his new role at The Point at Polzeath he will assume day-to-day responsibility across all areas of the business, working with the owners and the team to take the business to the next level and build on the foundations laid over the past 5 years.

Born out of the administration of Roserrow Golf and Country Club, The Point at Polzeath was purchased by Jeremy and Eva Davies alongside Robert Clive and Mel Thomas from 360 Golf in 2012. The team immediately set about investing across all areas of the business and have completely revitalised the resort located on the stunning North Cornwall coast.

Commenting on the appointment, The Point at Polzeath owner, Jeremy Davies said, “Both my wife, Eva and I are thrilled to have attracted someone of Carl’s calibre as it signals our intention to continue to improve our overall offering for the benefit of our members and guests.

We have known Carl for over 20 years and there is no doubt that he is held in very high regard within the golf industry. His knowledge and experience will be of great benefit and will also enable myself and Eva to focus on other areas of the business, where due to time constraints in the past, we have been unable to maximise opportunities”

Since purchasing the property, the owners have built seven state-of-the-art eco apartments, all offering breath-taking views out to Pentire Point and the Atlantic Ocean. The main clubhouse has been extensively renovated to make the most of the stunning surroundings. A magnificent Sports bar and terrace in addition to an upstairs restaurant, boasting some fantastic artwork, have taken the club to a whole new level and cemented its position as one of the region’s most popular golf & leisure destinations.

The Health Club has also seen continued investment with an 18m indoor pool, large gym with 12 Spinning bikes and a studio that hosts yoga and pilates classes all year round. The golf course is now considered to be amongst the top courses in Cornwall following a sympathetic redesigned under the guidance of world-renowned architect, Tim Lobb.

Recognition of the incredible progress that has been made came earlier this year when the course played host, alongside its neighbours, St Enodoc and Trevose, to the PGA Cornish Festival. Work is scheduled to continue on the course, with a brand new 7^th hole under construction and scheduled for opening in Spring 2020.

“I am very excited to be joining the team at The Point at Polzeath and am looking forward to helping Jeremy, Eva and 360 Golf build on the fantastic work they have already achieved reinventing this wonderful facility, located in one of the most beautiful parts of the country,” commented Rutherford.

“It really is an amazing venue and somewhere that myself and my family know very well, having holidayed there on numerous occasions. The relaxed, family orientated environment that Jeremy and Eva have worked tirelessly to create has already proved to be a huge success and I consider it a privilege to be entrusted to help guide the club through the next stage of its evolution.”
