Essendon Country Club

mission statement and values

Our mission is to be the most welcoming, relaxed, personal and quality members club in Hertfordshire.

Ways Members can help in our Sustainability Efforts

On the Course

Eco-friendly reminders: Signs encouraging golfers to repair divots, rake bunkers, and avoid fragile habitats.

Wildlife zones: Mark and celebrate natural areas with small information boards about plants, insects, or birds.

Sustainable play: Promote walking the course or using electric trolleys instead of buggies.

In the Clubhouse

Green pledge wall: Invite members to sign a pledge committing to simple eco-actions (like reducing plastic use, recycling, or supporting wildlife).

Noticeboard/TV screens: Share sustainability tips, water-saving facts, and updates on achievements (e.g., “we saved 15% water this summer”).

Competitions: Run fun challenges such as “bring a reusable water bottle” days or prizes for eco-conscious behaviour.

Communication and Education

Newsletters & Social Media: Regular updates on projects (tree planting, water conservation, habitat protection).

Workshops or walks: Short talks or nature walks led by staff, greenkeepers, or local experts.

Junior involvement: Include sustainability in junior coaching to build awareness in the next generation.

Engagement in Decisions

Feedback surveys: Ask golfers what eco-initiatives they’d like to see.

Volunteer days: Invite golfers to join in activities such as tree planting, habitat restoration, or litter collection.
