Environmental Management

Notts Golf Club is committed to preserving the very special environment surrounding Hollinwell and, in general, the nation's quest for a "greener" environment.
 
We pursue a sustainable course management system to maintain Notts as a fine example of the very best of British heathland courses.
 
As you may read from the drop menu in this section we work very closing with Natural England, Heathland Trust and Notts Wildlife Trust to maintain our good environmental practices.

Clubhouse

Not only do we carry out a number of environmental projects on the course, we have a number of projects around the main buildings that are very environmentally friendly.
 
Hot water and heating is provided by a Biomass Boiler System that is largely fuelled by careful management and harvesting of the surrounding woodland.
 
We have developed two reed filtration beds. One bed serves the machinery wash down area and the other gathers the run off waste water from the car park and club house. This provides an ecologically sound, inexpensive way of ‘cleaning’ the water before it enters the river system.

Awards

As a result of all the policies adopted at Notts, we have received many awards in recent years.
