Now he wants to dive into a 50 x 16ft outdoor pool and wooden climbing frame for his three-year-old daughter Poppy after filing for divorce from wife Erica Stoll.
But he has landed in hot water with local council authorities as his home, on an exclusive estate, is in a designated green belt area with stricter planning laws.
Mcllroy’s luxurious home also features a large entrance hall, six reception rooms, double sitting room, family room, breakfast room, snug, study and study.
Land Registry records show he and Erica bought the flat for £8.9 million in January last year.
The Sun recently revealed the star spent between £10m and £14m developing the property.
But the world number two has filed for divorce from Erica, saying the marriage “is irretrievably broken”.
Documents filed in the United States, where the couple lived, showed that the four-time major champion and Erica signed a prenuptial agreement before they married in 2017.
They also revealed that the couple agreed to “shared parental responsibility” for Poppy, who was born in Florida.
Mcllroy, worth around £200 million, previously received planning permission for a dining room and utility room extension to his Surrey home, a new roof and internal alterations.
Local council officials have now given the green light for the outdoor pool, recreation center and 1.5 meter high water wall after there were no objections from neighbors.
Other famous residents living nearby include footballers Harry Kane and Andriy Shevchenko, former cricketer Kevin Pietersen and fitness guru Joe Wicks.
