We employ a cautious approach to water management to minimise impact on wildlife in our ponds and waterways.
All water usage is in line with current environmental legislation, irrigating based on weather and observed ground and turf conditions
The clubs responsibly use water from reservoirs, boreholes and mains water, regulated by abstraction limits set by the Environment Agency
Hand watering is used to limit the number of automated programmes for unnecessary water consumption
Hotels and clubhouses have timers on taps to reduce unnecessary water usage
Plans are in place to build water storage at certain clubs, with the aim to have all golf course irrigation away from mains water by 2030
Case Study
Greetham Valley
The club has solar panels installed on the driving range (30KW) and the roof of the hotel (8KW), along with biomass boilers for the heating and hot water to the hotel.
The two biomass boilers benefit from the government RHI scheme, which covers the running costs of the boilers and the supply of the woodchip, effectively benefitting from the costs covered for heating and hot water. The club also has electric heaters in the hotel rooms aside from the supply provided by the biomass boilers.
