Ramsdale Park Golf Centre, a Burhill Group Limited (BGL) venue in Nottingham, has successfully achieved Golf Environment Organisation Certified® status for the next five years.

The comprehensive, modern certification was developed to encompass environmental success in the areas of golf facility operations, golf development and renovation, and golf tournaments.

This status demonstrates a commitment to continuous improvement around nature, resources, and the community.

Commenting on the achievement, general manager, Theresa Plimmer, said: “This is a fantastic achievement for everybody at Ramsdale Park. It’s incredibly important to us that we operate in the most environmentally friendly way possible, and this certification is testament to the incredible work our staff have put in.

“Our greenkeeping team are constantly striving to improve the courses and club facilities and will continue to search for new, innovative ways to achieve the most sustainable and efficient practices possible.”

Ramsdale Park Golf Centre features a scenic 18-hole course with spectacular views over the Nottinghamshire countryside as well as a short course that is ideal for beginners and approach play practice. The club also has a 25-bay floodlit driving range, well stocked pro shop, adventure golf course and relaxed café bar and grill.

Earlier this year BGL presented a special recognition accolade to club favourite and long-standing member of the greenkeeping team, David Marshall, who has completed 25 years of service.

BGL operates 22 golf courses across six golf centres and four golf clubs situated throughout the UK, focussing on pay and play: Abbey Hill Golf Centre (Milton Keynes), Aldwickbury Park Golf Club (Harpenden), Birchwood Park Golf and Country Club (Dartford), Burhill Golf Club (Walton on Thames), Hoebridge Golf Centre (Woking), Ramsdale Park Golf Centre (Nottingham), Redbourn Golf Club (St Albans), The Shropshire Golf Centre (Telford), Thornbury Golf Centre (Bristol), Wycombe Heights Golf Centre (High Wycombe).
