1 WELCOME Project boom We all wondered whether the boom in golf participation that arose from the pandemic would translate to new investment in golf courses and, if so, when. If reports from golf course suppliers are anything to go by, it is well and truly happening now. As a result, one of the main issues architects and contractors are grappling with is how to manage clubs’ expectations of when resource will be available for work on their courses. The quality of partnerships between clubs and their suppliers has never been more important. We hope that the golf businesses listed in this 2022 edition of GCA Green Pages, our annual supplier directory, can help you make the most of investments in your own course, and capitalise on golf’s surge in popularity. This issue includes reports on several projects that have been undertaken during 2021, from the perspective of some of the suppliers involved. We hear more about the projects at The Addington in England, Vidauban in France, LaFincaGolf Los Lagos in Spain and Raleigh CC, Midlothian CC and Tower Tee in the United States. Our supplier directory section lists businesses that are specialists in golf course design, development, maintenance and related disciplines, and can support your plans. It is also available online, with a simple search facility that will help you to identify businesses that may be suitable for your specific needs.
