Sustainability

Caring deeply, growing steadily — our journey to a greener tomorrow


Environmental

We tread lightly

  • We're working to use energy more efficiently in an effort to cut down on carbon emissions.
  • We recycle, manage waste properly, avoid single-use plastics, and reuse greywater.
  • Solar panels are going up on buildings, roadsides and wherever else we can fit them.
  • We're adding EV charging spots and bikes/eco-bikes around our sites to help people get around sustainably.
  • Sustainability is at the core of how we design, build, and care for our golf courses.
  • We’re also boosting biodiversity through rewilding, planting trees and hedgerows, creating habitats, and keeping our own beehives!

Social

We care for our people and our place.

  • We’re all about inclusion, equality, and celebrating diversity.
  • We encourage everyone—especially women and girls—to get involved in golf and other games, no matter their background.
  • We create local job opportunities with fair pay and equal treatment.
  • We’re building inclusive community spaces and working closely with schools, charities, and other local groups (think golf workshops and education about nature and rewilding!).
  • We champion mental wellbeing by offering spaces for people to relax and recharge through indoor and outdoor activities.

Governance

We lead with integrity

  • Our board helps lead the charge on making smart, responsible decisions.
  • We regularly check our systems to make sure they’re fair, transparent, and effective.
  • Each of our stakeholders are treated with respect and fairness.
  • We train our team and make sure we’re following the best ESG practices.
  • We work with partners and suppliers who share our commitment to high ESG standards.

Little Touches

Care in every detail

  • All of our sites host thriving bee colonies who pollinate our wonderful landscapes and produce the honey you’ll find in your room.
  • Our kitchen gardens produce the herbs and edible flowers we use in our dishes - the rest of our menu is sourced in collaboration with local, trustworthy suppliers.
  • Our wildflower meadow restoration is underway… look out for them on your next visit.
  • Our retail product range is chosen carefully to ensure we work with sustainable materials where possible and suppliers that care about the environment as much as we do.
  • We seek to educate all of our team in sustainability best practices with opportunities to implement their learnings back into how we operate.
