Today, more than ever, golf clubs face challenges that go beyond the green. Environmental factors—like flooding risks impacting 117 courses in England—pose real threats to revenue, membership, and even the stability of clubs. Additionally, drought conditions are creating a demand for advanced irrigation systems that cost many clubs up to a million pounds to install, pushing expenses to unsustainable levels. Custodian Golf is committed to helping clubs meet these environmental challenges with actionable, data-driven strategies. From assessing climate risks to identifying sustainable water practices, we work with clubs to strengthen their resilience and secure their long-term viability. For us, it’s not just about playing a game—it’s about protecting its future. If your club is looking to build resilience and meet the demands of a changing world, we’re ready to assist. #SustainableGolf #EnvironmentalResilience #GolfFuture #CustodianGolf Golf Club Managers Association Club Management Association of Europe (CMAE) The PGA The R&A UK Golf Federation

From offering shorter play formats to creating welcoming, modernised club policies, we help clubs remain relevant and appealing without compromising the essence of the game.

🏌️♂️ Strategic Transformation for Golf Clubs The future of golf in Great Britain depends on how well clubs can adapt to modern challenges. By leveraging data—such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and demographic studies—clubs can gain crucial insights into location viability, competition, and environmental risks.
