At Oxley Park Golf Club we are proud of our long history, and with that comes a responsibility to look after the environment and community that surround us. Golf courses occupy a unique place within the landscape, providing not only a sporting venue but also a valuable green space that supports wildlife and enhances local biodiversity. We recognise that the choices we make today will shape the course for future generations, and we are committed to operating in a way that is both environmentally responsible and socially sustainable.
Protecting Our Course and Environment
Our parkland course is maintained with sustainability in mind. We aim to balance high playing standards with practices that reduce our environmental impact. Water conservation is a key focus, and we continually assess our irrigation systems to ensure water is used efficiently. Where possible, we reduce reliance on chemical treatments, opting instead for sustainable turf management techniques that encourage natural resilience and healthy playing surfaces.
We also value the role our course plays as a natural habitat. The tree-lined fairways, woodland areas, and ponds provide shelter and food for a wide variety of bird and animal species. We actively support this biodiversity through careful habitat management, responsible planting, and the preservation of native trees and grasses.
Reducing Our Carbon Footprint
We are committed to lowering our energy usage and reducing carbon emissions across all areas of the club. Our clubhouse is managed with energy efficiency in mind, with steps taken to minimise waste, improve heating and lighting systems, and source from local suppliers wherever possible. Recycling is encouraged throughout the club, and we work closely with our partners to ensure packaging and waste materials are disposed of responsibly.
Supporting Our Community
Sustainability is not only about protecting the environment; it is also about building a positive, lasting relationship with our members and the wider community. We provide opportunities for juniors to take up the game, supporting the next generation of golfers in a safe and inclusive setting. We also welcome societies, charities and local groups, ensuring the club continues to be a hub for social and community activity.
By offering affordable membership options and encouraging participation at all levels, we are helping to make golf accessible while maintaining the long-term health of the club.
Our Ongoing Commitment
Sustainability is a journey, and we know there is always more to be done. At Oxley Park Golf Club we are committed to continually reviewing our practices, seeking new ways to improve, and investing in initiatives that make a real difference. Whether through smarter use of resources, enhancing biodiversity, or creating a welcoming space for future generations, we remain focused on protecting what makes our club so special.
Oxley Park Golf Club is proud to be a place where golf, nature, and community thrive together. By taking a sustainable approach, we are not only safeguarding the future of the game but also contributing positively to the environment and society around us.
