Established in 2018 by the late Ed Richardson, Get Golfing set out to rescue and restore struggling golf courses.<\/p>\n
For many club golfers, a course can become a second home, valued for its location, course quality, clubhouse, price, and community. The potential closure of such a beloved club can be devastating.<\/p>\n
Get Golfing addresses this issue by revitalising failing golf courses and reinvesting all funds back into the clubs. As a charity organisation, it is dedicated to preserving these cherished community assets and ensuring their continued operation.<\/p>\n
Struggling golf courses often reach out to Get Golfing as a last resort to stay afloat. When a course is deemed a suitable fit, the charity assesses the site before taking over and transforming it into a financially sustainable venue.<\/p>\n
Pyrford Lakes, the charity’s flagship course, exemplifies this positive impact. Significant investments have not only improved the course itself but also modernised the clubhouse.<\/p>\n
Moving away from the traditional members club model, the open-plan clubhouse features two large TV screens, music playing aloud, and a spacious patio overlooking the lake.<\/p>\n
