Golf and nature are intrinsically entwined; the most beautiful golf holes are fashioned not solely by the architect’s skill and imagination but also by the geographical setting.

Golf has come a long way since those early years when courses were created more by nature than man on those windswept areas of linksland. Now when the architect’s intuition is complimented by science and heavy plant machinery, golf courses can be constructed on almost any type of terrain, from desert to swamp, from mountain to plain, each one embracing its own unique environment.

Here at Kenwick Park our Environmental Panel has worked with a genuine enthusiasm to preserve and enhance nature’s bounty. Combining internal fund raising with grants from regional environmental bodies, the club has taken many measures to be self sufficient in natural resources. Our own reservoir enables us to irrigate in times of drought and we have our own composting machinery to allow us to recycle many of the waste products from the course.

We ensure that any changes to playing areas and the surroundings are conducted with great sensitivity towards the welfare of our flora and fauna. At the same time, we endeavour to enhance the habitat for our many forms of wildlife, this is achieved by constructing areas that will attract new species and allow for mutual coexistence of golfers and nature.

The club has received many accolades from environmental organisations at both regional and national level and indeed has been featured on BBC television.
