We will seek to use our reach to raise awareness and positive action amongst golfers, partners and the wider public.

We will make an important difference, and help golf become a valued leader in sustainability.

Notable Observations

  • Comprehensive Biodiversity Audit The club has completed a full Biodiversity Audit, giving them detailed insight into species, habitats, and ecological priorities on the course.
  • Drought-Resistant Fairway Overseeding Fairways are being over-seeded with drought-tolerant grasses to reduce fertiliser needs and improve performance during dry periods.
  • Fairways Allowed to Brown The club deliberately allows fairways to brown during hot periods, reducing water demand while keeping playability acceptable.
  • Major Energy Upgrades Heat pumps, solar PV, building controls, and full LED conversion have strengthened energy efficiency across the clubhouse and maintenance facility.
  • 100% Green Electricity The club is supplied exclusively with certified green electricity.
  • Strong Charity Programme The club runs multiple charity events annually, with updated donation records due to significant under-reporting in the initial submission.
  • Active Local Partnerships Grange collaborates closely with its neighbouring public park, sports fields, and local authorities on land-use and community relationships.
  • Environmental Committee Leadership The Environmental Committee has a seat on the club’s Management Committee, embedding sustainability into strategic decision-making.
“

“Grange Golf Club continues to demonstrate very strong environmental leadership and commitment to sustainable management across all aspects of its operation. Of particular note is their development of a brand-new Course Maintenance Facility, which has greatly improved employee conditions and welfare, and their Decarbonisation Plans with the objective to be Scope 1 & 2 Carbon neutral by 2030. I look forward to seeing their Biodiversity Plan, following the recent audit, that will further protect and enhance the flora and fauna present.”
