Guy Riggott and Ed Pettit

Tailored, scalable solutions

As ever, BGL wanted to provide even better playing standards for members and guests.

After all, course conditions determine golfer satisfaction.

However, across its golf venues in England, BGL greenkeeping teams faced common environmental, technological and financial challenges.

The only way to tackle complex, multi-location agronomic and operational requirements was with a tailored, scalable solution that delivers actionable insights and measurable results.

Enter Carr Golf Maintenance.

Thornbury Golf & Lodge

Continuous improvements through data-driven golf course maintenance

We have now integrated custom programmes at these two-course BGL properties:

  • Aldwickbury Park Golf Club
  • Wycombe Heights Golf Centre
  • Thornbury Golf & Lodge
  • Redbourn Golf Club
  • Birchwood Park Golf Club

 

Here’s how it works.

Tracking golf course maintenance results

The collaboration combines our data-driven approach, technical expertise, and on-the-ground support with BGL’s passion for never-ending improvement.

We track 13 key performance indicators to drive steady, tangible gains across course conditions, staff productivity, resource usage, fleet management, and operational efficiency.

Andy Mason, our Regional Superintendent, provides in-house greenkeepers with best-practice guidance and hands-on training.

Plus, every month, BGL management receives in-depth reports and progress dashboards.

Together, we implement these insights to improve agronomic decisions, inform investment strategies, and achieve GEO recertification.
