Founded by Edward and Joshua Dantzic in 2005, the company has been a subsidiary of The Brighton Pier Group since its acquisition in December 2017. It is an affiliate member of both England and Scotland's national golf governing bodies.

History

Lethington Leisure Limited was founded in 2005 by father and son Edward "Eddie" Dantzic and Joshua Dantzic.[3][4] In a 2006 Evening Times interview, Joshua Dantzic, then aged 24, said that he was still living with his parents and had aspired to be his own boss since childhood.[5]

Lethington Leisure was acquired by The Brighton Pier Group in December 2017 for £10.5 million as part of the company's strategy of buying "growing experiential leisure and entertainment destinations" according to its executive chairman Luke Johnson.[3][6] Following the acquisition, Joshua Dantzic remained the company's director whilst Edward Dantzic was appointed as an independent non-executive director.[4]

In January 2019, the company launched an augmented reality mobile app for customers to use whilst playing the courses.[7]

In February 2024, the company became an affiliate member of England Golf.[1] In January 2025, the company became an affiliate member of Scottish Golf after a vote by members.[2] This made it the first member of Scottish Golf to not be a golf club.[2]

In December 2025, it was announced that the Brighton Pier Group would be selling Paradise Island Adventure Golf and were looking for a buyer.[8]
