Foxhills Golf Club and Hotel Resort is located in Ottershaw, Surrey with very close links to London and near to London Heathrow Airport and Gatwick Airport. The club was officially founded in 1975. The Foxhills Club is part of the Foxhills collection which also includes sister golf club, Farleigh. ==History== Foxhills first took its name from the 18th Century politician Charles James Fox who came to live in the Surrey area in the 1780s after a troubled life involving heavy drinking and gambling. Forcibly, Charles James Fox resided in Surrey country estate with his wife Elizabeth Armistead. Some years after restoring his body and spirt with the help of his neighbour Sir Joseph Mawbey, 1st Baronet, Charles James Fox died in 1806. Sir Joseph Mawbey, 1st Baronet did not long out-live Charles James Fox where he ultimately died in 1817. Sir Joseph bought the an estate of Botleys in Chertsey in 1763, however upon his death, his Daughter and Son-In-Law, John Ivatt Briscoe 〔(Debrett's House of Commons - Members Of Parliament )〕 bought the estate which we know now it as Fox’s Hill. In the 1870s the estate was passed to a relative of John Ivatt Briscoe, Edward Hutton (British Army officer) who served as a veteran in the Anglo-Zulu and Boer wars. Lieutenant General Sir Edward Hutton, died in 1923 being buried in Lyne near Chertsey Surrey 〔(= British Empire - Lt-Gen Sir Edward Thomas Henry Hutton )〕 . Before General Hutton’s death he sold the estate to Borthwicks in the early 1920s who were successful merchants. The estate and farm what we call today the Manner grew extensively and not until the Second War did the family convert the farm, now the Bernard Hunt Golf Course, over to the Dig for Victory Campaign 〔(-Dig for Victory )〕 A consistent gradual decline in the 1960s saw the estate being sold once again where it turned into a golf club in 1975. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Foxhills Golf Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
