Kingswood Golf and Country Club in Surrey is in the process of upgrading its 1928 James Braid-designed golf course with a focus on the playing surface to enhance the player experience and employing the expertise of The R&A Sustainable Agronomy Service.
Working with Senior Agronomist, Simon Watson, a program has been developed that combines data-driven decision-making and long-range planning within an ongoing framework to improve the parkland course that has hosted the Ladies' European Open.
General Manager, Ashley Northridge, commented, “With the challenge of managing the course in light of climate change and the desire to improve our golf course to impress members and visitors, we felt it was important to bring in an organization that would help us achieve our goals. goals in a sustainable way.
We are fully engaged and already in the second tour phase and we are happy to see the changes are already making a difference. The course is well winterized and is intended for a quick start to the spring/summer season.
We are excited to see where this journey will take us especially as we celebrate our centenary in 2028 when we will be hosting the Surrey Amateur Championship.”
Nestled in the hills overlooking the Surrey Hills countryside, Kingswood Golf and Country Club has a large newly renovated clubhouse with purpose-built event spaces and a comfortable modern 18-room hotel.
The golf course features an 18-hole 6,927-yard, par 72, 12-bay driving range, putting green and hitting net.
