Success stories

Transforming a local leisure site into a thriving community hub

Matthew Wharton Golf Mon Ltd

How Business Wales supported Golf Môn’s growth and expansion

Golf Môn Ltd is a community-focused leisure destination in Llangefni, offering a range of family-friendly activities and experiences. Since 2018, the business has transformed a previously closed council-run golf facility into a vibrant hub, with continued support from Business Wales helping to drive its growth.

Matthew Wharton had a clear vision to redevelop the site, but turning it into a sustainable, multi-offering leisure business required strong financial planning, funding support and a clear growth strategy.

The idea was there, but building a solid business plan and securing the right support was key to making it happen.

Business Wales supported Matthew to:

  • develop robust financial forecasts
  • create a clear and compelling business plan
  • navigate funding application processes
  • access specialist marketing consultancy support
  • plan for recruitment and workforce development

With guidance from a Business Wales Relationship Manager and access to expert marketing support, Golf Môn was able to successfully launch and promote its expanded offering, including a new crazy golf course.

The advice from Business Wales has been golden, especially the business planning and application process support. It’s unique and you just don’t get that kind of one-to-one guidance elsewhere.

Golf Môn has successfully evolved into a popular leisure destination, now featuring an 18-hole crazy golf course, junior golf academy, driving range, pizzeria and indoor golf simulator. The business has also created 3.5 new full-time jobs and continues to grow, with a cocktail bar and children’s party room currently in development.

Looking ahead, the business plans to complete its full renovation, further strengthening its position as an innovative, family-friendly community hub.
