A new chapter for a respected name in golf construction

For more than four decades, the name John Greasley has been synonymous with quality golf course construction throughout the United Kingdom. From championship golf course remodeling and complex drainage installations to new course construction, the company has earned a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship and technical expertise, delivering projects at many of the country’s most prestigious golf clubs.

A new chapter for a respected name in golf construction

In 2026, that legacy entered an exciting new chapter.

Premier Turfing Limited acquired the staff, operational assets, specialist machinery and on going work previously undertaken by John Greasley Limited, leading to the formation of Premier Golf Limited-a dedicated golf contracting business that will continue serving the golf industry with the same experienced people, specialist knowledge and commitment to quality that customers have relied upon for generations.

While this marks a new chapter, the relationship between the two businesses is far from new. Over the past twenty years, Premier Turfing has worked alongside John Greasley Limited as a trusted subcontractor on numerous golf course construction, drainage and renovation projects throughout the UK. During that time, both companies developed a strong working relationship built on shared values, quality workmanship and mutual respect.

Baroness LM66’s exceed expectations

When Chris Marker, Course Manager at Waterlooville Golf Club, began looking for new hand mowers as part of the club’s machinery replacement programme he had already heard plenty about Baroness and the quality of cut their machines could produce. Two years on, he says their trio of LM66 mowers for tees have not only lived up to the hype – they’ve exceeded expectations.

Chris has been at Waterlooville for 11 years, overseeing a demanding, tree-lined parkland course maintained by a team of seven greenkeepers. To ease some of the pressure on the busy team, the club sought a new fleet of hand mowers to replace the existing tees set-up which consisted of older, narrower mowers. “We demoed all makes and models, looking for something that would cover more ground without compromising cut quality or presentation” he explains.

“I’ve known Luke Collins of Baroness for a long time and obviously he was keen for us to give the LM66’s a try. I was intrigued as I’d heard a lot about the cutting cylinders on these machines, so we gave them a go to see if they actually lived up to their reputation.”

And the result? “The quality of cut is outstanding. They stay on cut incredibly well meaning, not only do we have a wider more productive unit, we’re saving further time in terms of initial set-up and not having to continuously re-adjust the cut” Chris says.

Today, the trio of Baroness LM66’s are in use three times a week to maintain the tees, collars and aprons, with the team impressed by more than just the cut performance. “The simplicity of operation is another big plus with these machines, together with their balance and reliability.” He adds, “They’re bulletproof – probably the machines that require the least amount of maintenance and upkeep in the shed.”

The positive in-field experience has also been backed by strong aftersales service from both Luke, and Mark Carter from local dealer Lister Wilder. “They’ve both been on hand to answer any questions we’ve had. Being able to speak directly with the manufacturer is a nice thing and just brings further confidence in our purchase and in the brand.”

Chris concludes, “These machines have really opened our eyes to the possibilities with Baroness and, with the cut being so good, they’ve definitely put themselves in contention when we come to review some of our other cutting equipment in the future.”
