Seckford Golf Club win the England Golf Club of the year award
The England Golf Awards 2023, sponsored by FootJoy, celebrate all that’s great about the game in this country – from volunteers to elite performers, clubs to counties, juniors to lifetime achievers.
The Suffolk club is a members’ owned, leased club that has recovered from the brink of bankruptcy in January 2020 to become the beating heart of its local community and is now looking ahead to a bright future.
To encourage golfers of the future, the club run a flexible membership programme for those who cannot commit to playing enough golf to warrant a traditional, annual membership.
By running an inclusive club which values all members, Seckford are finding financial advantages to help them grow in future years and their positive ethos is supported and welcomed by its’ membership.
The club also runs hugely successful Dementia Golf days which began in 2022, providing access to the course and practice facilities for local people living with the illness and helping them to find joy in difficult times.
Away from the course, the club’s bar and restaurant areas have been completely refurbished over the last two years to provide an excellent environment for both golfing and non-golfing social functions and 50% of their trade comes from non-members.
