Newark Golf Club Invests for the Future

Following acquisition in 2024 that prevented Newark Golf Club from entering administration, its new owners, Stellar Asset Management, have invested millions of pounds into the club. With immediate improvements to the course, renovation of the clubhouse, shop and changing areas, plus the installation of a full trackman grass driving range and simulator room, the long term health of the club has never looked better.

And it is with that eye on the long-term that Newark is working with sustainable bunker experts EcoBunker to ensure that the course’s hazards meet the standards of the rest of the venue.

“For golf, food or private events Newark is unrecognisable from 2 years ago,” commented Group General Manager, Molly Pavey. “Members and visitors love the course and the facilities, but the bunkers are the last thing that needed an upgrade to deliver the overall experience that we want to provide. As with every investment, we wanted to be sure that the owners got great value, golfers got a fantastic playing experience and that we’re securing the best possible solution for many years to come, so we spoke to EcoBunker.”

Based in South Wales, EcoBunker are the innovators of synthetic bunker edge technology. Using layered synthetic turf tiles Ecobunker technology creates a long term, sustainable bunker edge that reduces the need for bunker maintenance and protects the bunkers from sand contamination and erosion. By investing in EcoBunker, golf clubs lock in course design and save significant maintenance costs over the 20+ year guaranteed lifespan.

“Across the group we look for the best way to deliver a fantastic experience for customers on and off the course, but we obviously have to make sure that we are getting the best from every pound invested,” continued Pavey. “EcoBunker is simple to install, so after brief training the on-site team is in the process of renovating all of the bunkers on the front nine. We plan to complete the program over the next 12 months meaning that very soon we will see cost savings and course improvements that will last for years.”

With further improvements to the changing areas due to be unveiled this spring, and the full bunker renovation program due for completion in the Autumn the investment program at Newark Golf Club continues to add value to the member and guest experience. From a club on the verge of administration, the turnaround at Newark in just 2 years has been remarkable. And with improvements like EcoBunker bringing long-term benefits, Newark is set to go from strength to strength.
