Luxury golf clubs targeted in wave of thefts

Urgent security measures are set to be brought in at two exclusive golf clubs after a spate of thefts.

Members at both Cameron House and The Carrick have been warned not to leave any valuables in their lockers after a glut of break-ins.

Concerned management at the luxury resorts, which boast a string of celebrity patrons including Clint Eastwood and Sean Connery, have called the police in an attempt to deal with the issue.

Cameron House Resort Manager Andy Roger said: “There is a problem and we’re doing everything we can to protect our guests and staff. It is a police matter and we are working closely with them. We are perturbed by what’s happened and are taking the appropriate steps.”

The courses have been broken into multiple times in the past week. It’s believed the robberies are part of a wider problem where organised gangs are targeting unattended changing rooms.

Members at both Cameron House and The Carrick were warned and reassured in an urgent e-mail sent out by Head of Golf Jonny Sharp.

It read: “Unfortunately over the past week and as recent as this evening we have had lockers being broken into both at Cameron House and The Carrick. With this in mind we would urge all of our members to be extra-vigilant.

“If you are to use the lockers provided please make sure they are locked and only the basics are kept in there. No keys, wallets, jewellery or cash.”

“Please note that we are currently looking at added security measures at both Cameron House and The Carrick, to ensure that these unfortunate incidents do not happen in the future.”

It’s not the first time Cameron House has been targeted. In 2008 police confirmed they had been called in after a number of thefts had been reported. Gangs are known to favour luxury hotels, confident of stealing high-end goods from wealthy guests.

Cameron House is a favourite celebrity bolthole and has played host to the Scotland football team in the past.

Its sister course The Carrick has members including former Manchester United supremo Sir Alex Ferguson, and ex-Old Firm bosses Walter Smith, Gordon Strachan and Alex McLeish.

Rangers’ boss Ally McCoist, actor Dougray Scott and Ryder Cup golfer Ian Poulter paid more than £4500 joining fees to access the championship-standard golf course and its luxury facilities.
