Rudding Park recognised at first Golf Course Awards

Tuesday, 10 December 2024 12:15

he Rudding Park team celebrate their Highly Commended recognition for the Repton Short Course.

Rudding Park Hotel in Harrogate has been recognised at the inaugural Golf Course Awards.

The luxury resorts’ Repton 6 Hole Golf Course received a Highly Commended recognition at the awards on Thursday (5th December).

Held at The Shard in London, the awards recognise innovation, inclusivity and sustainability, design, condition and aesthetics.

Whilst Sunningdale Health in Surrey won the category, Rudding Park beat off stiff competition from Reigate Heath Golf Club, The Bann Course at Castlerock, Pitlochry, Shiskine Golf & Tennis Club.

The awards were hosted by former pro-golfer and Sky Sports Broadcaster Nick Dougherty, who was also a judge.

He said:

“The Repton Short Course strikes the perfect balance between a transitional course for juniors and beginners but also offers an exciting challenge for seasoned golfers; along with various initiatives including junior golf, inclusive golf and inter-generational golf.”

Marc Rice, Head of Golf at Rudding Park said:

“We are thrilled the Repton 6 Hole Short Course has been recognised on a national level.

“There is no course in the area which compares, particularly with the signature hole, a replica of the famous island hole at Sawgrass.

“We welcome everyone, from those new to the game; to weekly golf groups like ’Golf in Society’ for those with Dementia and Parkinson’s to our annual family fun celebration ‘Golfest’.

“We always look to offer new experiences to entice people to try golf and will shortly be launching ‘Night Golf’ so watch this space!”
