Top award for Marton Meadows

The GCMA (Golf Course Managers Association) ‘Team of the Year’ 2025 was awarded to the club after months of assessment and interviews. The results were announced at the biennial GCMA Conference which took place at the DeVere Hotel, Cotswolds Water Park,

General Manager, Chad Parker, and Assistant Manager, Lisa Harrop, were there to accept the award on behalf of the team. It was the culmination of a tough nomination process, that included a Dragons Den style interview at Royal Blackheath Golf Club, London.

Lisa said: “Our entire team are already champions in our eyes, their warm welcome and commitment to customer service have always been second to none, but for their hard work and dedication to be officially recognised by a national governing body is truly amazing. We’re over the Moon.

The course at Marton Meadows once rated will be another step towards them becoming the 96th Affiliated Club in Cheshire.
