1 WELCOME RICHARD HUMPHREYS We might have expected the post-Covid boom in golf to be quickly followed by a retraction. But six years on, momentum is sustained and the outlook for golf, and the businesses that rely on its popularity, continues to be good. Developers and clubs – public and private – are not resting on their laurels; rather working to maximise the value of existing assets, improving environmental performance and responding to the requirements of the next generation of golfers. These priorities are shaping the way new projects are planned and delivered. Over the following pages, we profile several examples of great work completed at golf facilities in recent months and demonstrate how thoughtful design, technical expertise and strong collaboration can deliver success. Identifying the right partners – architects, contractors, irrigation specialists, turf consultants and other suppliers – is of fundamental importance to achieve the desired results in an acceptable timeframe. The supplier directory section of GCA Green Pages – available in print and online at www.golfcoursearchitecture.net/greenpages – is designed to support that process. You’ll find businesses listed by their area of expertise, followed by – in alphabetical order – their full company profiles and contact details. We hope you find this guide an informative and valuable resource, and wish you every success with your golf projects in 2026. Sustaining momentum
