Recognition, redefined.
Building on traditional interpretations of excellence, The Golf Course Awards provide a progressive evaluation of greatness that recognises innovation, inclusivity and sustainability, as well as design, condition, and aesthetics.
The Awards
The Golf Course Awards are a multi-category awards programme that recognises outstanding golf courses across Great Britain & Ireland. The Awards connect golf courses with consumers, influencers, and brands, delivering an extensive promotional campaign in the lead up to the annual Winners’ Event in December.
Brand Ambassador & Ceremony Host
We’re delighted to once again be partnering with Nick Dougherty, a former pro-golfer, Sky Sports Broadcaster, and the face of the inspirational and inclusive Tee Time Tips platform. We share the same core values, the same commitment to grassroots golf, and crucially, the same ambition – to recognise and platform great golf courses.
