Redbourn Golf Club wins Sustainability Project of the Year at 2026 England Golf Awards
The Hertfordshire-based club, which is part of BGL Group, was honoured for more than a decade of independently verified progress in sustainable course management. Redbourn now operates entirely on certified zero-emission electricity, avoiding more than 44 tonnes of CO₂ in 2024 alone.
