England Golf is the governing body for amateur golf in England, looking after the interests of around 1,750 affiliated golf clubs and more than 730,000 club members.
A not-for-profit organisation based at Woodhall Spa in Lincolnshire, England Golf supports clubs with member recruitment and retention, runs more than 50 national championships for golfers of all ages and abilities, and manages the talent pathway that takes England’s best amateurs from county golf to the national squads.
It also administers the World Handicap System in England and leads initiatives that bring new people into the game, including Get into Golf, with a strong focus on making golf more inclusive and accessible for women and girls, juniors and disabled golfers.
England Golf’s 2025–2030 strategy, Inspire More Golfers, sets out how it will help clubs and facilities across the country attract and keep new players. England Golf has been a strategic partner of Golf Tourism England since GTE’s early days, supporting its aim of bringing more visitors to England’s golf clubs.
