Entry to the awards is completely free, and we encourage every eco-conscious golf club to consider applying, no matter how big or small the project.
The Golf Environment Awards are managed and administered by STRI Group, and each entry is independently judged, not on the scale of project nor their financial investment, but on what the golf course has achieved and how it’s achievements have benefited the surrounding environment and local ecology.
