Forest Pines To Bid For Solheim Cup
QHotel’s Forest Pines Hotel and Golf Resort has been selected by UK Sport as the UK’s bidding venue to host the 2015 Solheim Cup.??
Forest Pines Hotel, in North Lincolnshire, boasts a 27 hole championship golf course and if successful, will invest more than £500,000 into developing its golf course and establishing itself as a world class destination for sport, business and culture.??
UK Sport, the government body for sport that is supporting the UK bid, chose the resort after it beat off stiff competition from a number of courses across the UK.
Achieving selection as the host country for the Solheim Cup is part of UK Sports’ decade of sporting events, which includes the 2012 Olympics, Commonwealth Games and the 2018 World Cup football bid. ??
The resort will now compete against courses from across Europe to play host to in excess of 100,000 visitors during the week of play. ??
The tournament – the women’s equivalent of the Ryder Cup – has never been hosted in England. ??A final decision on the successful bidding nation is expected next year.
