Sustainability at North Hants

At North Hants Golf Club, we work hard to limit environmental impact through our activities. We consider sustainability and environmental impacts in everything we do and focus on reducing our carbon footprint while delivering the best value to our members. Success in this area is partly measured through our  GEO certification, which the club achieved in February 2023.

Full Certification report

“North Hants Golf Club have undertaken some fantastic projects across the key areas of enhancing the natural environment, managing, and reducing resource use, and engaging with stakeholders. Managing the woodland through thinning, using the waste to create habitat, and encouraging heathland restoration by reducing close management of key areas are great examples of the easy co-existence of golf and nature. The upgrades to LED lighting have reduced consumption and the plans to install renewable energy show the progressive attitude to management as we are all faced with uncertainty around fossil fuels price and availability. Well done and keep up the good work.”  Tony Hanson CIWFM, AMICE & PIEMA (GEO accredited independent verifier) February 2023.
