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 will be a multi-category awards programme that recognises outstanding golf courses across the British Isles. The Awards will connect golf courses with consumers, influencers, and brands, delivering an extensive promotional campaign in the lead up to the annual Winners’ Ceremony in the Autumn.

Brand Ambassador & Ceremony Host

We’re delighted to 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.
