a once in a generation opportunity to create a fantastic grassroots tennis and golf destination that is open to all
The Park of Keir partners
Park of Keir is a partnership between Judy Murray, Colin Montgomerie and the King Group. The Partners have the relevant experience to ensure this is an exceptional facility and that it is both of highest standard and sustainable from an operational perspective.
Behind the proposed tennis and golf centre are two of Scotland’s most prominent sporting figures. The concept and ethos of a “grass roots” approach and access for all is a joint vision held by both Judy and Colin. They see Park of Keir as being the perfect location to be able to give young people the best possible opportunity to come along and try their respective sports.
The Team
