There are elegant residential buildings along the way, as well as pubs, caf\u00e9s and small stores. Wimbledon means inner London. In 1865, this was an area of woodland and heathland, a good distance from Westminster and Buckingham Palace. The city has since grown into the outer areas. Wimbledon is now considered a golf course in the middle of the city. &#8220;It&#8217;s eight miles to the centre,&#8221; says <strong>Robert Brewer<\/strong>, General Manager of the Royal Wimbledon Golf Club, describing the current position of the third oldest golf club in the UK. This means that it doesn&#8217;t really get any closer than this. With around 90 hectares of land, the private club is highly sought after when it comes to memberships. In addition to the long-established membership, the club also counts the odd well-known footballer or tennis player among its members.<\/p>\n<p>No wonder: the good 18-hole course designed by Harry Colt in 1924 stretches over surprisingly hilly terrain. The views of the parkland area with its old trees and a few distant tower blocks in the centre of London are phenomenal, and the clubhouse, which is also over a hundred years old, exudes charm.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mbv7ocrh-9b3179157d4e1a93ee77763694ce13d2\">\n.avia-image-container.av-mbv7ocrh-9b3179157d4e1a93ee77763694ce13d2 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-mbv7ocrh-9b3179157d4e1a93ee77763694ce13d2 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-mbv7ocrh-9b3179157d4e1a93ee77763694ce13d2 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  av-has-copyright av-copyright-always'  ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-30637 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-30637 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250710_164205-1500x430.jpg\" alt='Heath renaturation' title='Royal Wimbledon Golf Club Heather'  height=\"430\" width=\"1500\"  \/><\/div><small class=\"avia-copyright\">Heather restoration is one of different sustainability projects <\/small><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mbv7qgf3-2d8fff749e88317ccfdbd110bcfa5e19 '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p>However, this product can only work because Brewer and the club&#8217;s management team have given the facility a modernization strategy that primarily affects two sensitive areas: firstly, the positioning of the club in the middle of the city. Secondly, the need for a sustainable approach to the environment. Around half of the Royal Wimbledon Golf Club is located in a nature reserve, or as it is known in England, a Site of Special Specific Interest. At the same time, Wimbledon is one of the city&#8217;s top residential areas. &#8220;We have just over 50 houses directly adjacent to our course,&#8221; explains Brewer. The noise of the greenkeeping machines is therefore an issue &#8211; and one reason why the club has had various electric mowers in its inventory for a few years now and is working on expanding them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Doing the right thing &#8211; and communicating it<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In order to gain public acceptance, the Royal Wimbledon Golf Club must therefore position itself as an important natural area in the middle of the city, as a promoter of sport for young people and at the same time document the sustainable use of resources. A requirement profile that led to the golf course being one of the first group of English golf courses to opt for GEO certification. &#8220;On the one hand, it&#8217;s the right thing to do anyway, but at the same time it&#8217;s also important for us to pass on the right message to our environment and explain what we&#8217;re doing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ihvufc-31527ba81c25589d7a3b2b1522d45b8a\">\n.avia-image-container.av-ihvufc-31527ba81c25589d7a3b2b1522d45b8a img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-ihvufc-31527ba81c25589d7a3b2b1522d45b8a .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-ihvufc-31527ba81c25589d7a3b2b1522d45b8a av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  av-has-copyright av-copyright-always'  ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-30639 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-30639 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250710_161029-1500x430.jpg\" alt='View of a golf hole with heather' title='Royal Wimbledon Golf Club (2)'  height=\"430\" width=\"1500\"  \/><\/div><small class=\"avia-copyright\">The renovation of the course included the installation of a new irrigation systme<\/small><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mbv7s2p2-89886284503212cfb0db21e461027f39 '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p>A sustainability working group is continuously working on various projects. It started with renovation and redesign work on the course, carried out by Tom Mackenzie and Martin Ebert. &#8220;We had to make the golf course relevant again, renew the irrigation system and relocate bunkers,&#8221; explains the General Manager. 2025 is the first year in which members will play the finished course.<\/p>\n<p>The club&#8217;s heather restoration project was also integrated into the project. The mosaic stones of grass and heathland, which are preferable to pure heathland in terms of value, fit in with the original landscape, but require constant work and attention from the greenkeeping team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Change in water management\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In July 2025, the course is brown in many areas because Royal Wimbledon Golf Club, like many other golf courses, irrigates with tap water and saves water as much as possible. With the dry spring and summer, this type of supply has turned out to be extremely cost-intensive, and there are now plans for a well with a groundwater supply. The club management knows that the current water supply is neither economically nor ecologically sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>Such projects are not always easy to communicate to employees or members. For example, Brewer has just explained to the club chef that an electric appliance is replacing the gas stove in the kitchen. As old as the clubhouse is, every new lamp is an LED product, and every detail is first checked to see if it makes sense. The working group focuses on regional purchasing, waste avoidance and recycling.<\/p>\n<div hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/sustainable-excellence-kingsbarns-golf-links\/\" class='avia-iframe-wrap'>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"3dLGRH9TIV\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/sustainable-excellence-kingsbarns-golf-links\/\">Kingsbarns Golf Links: Sustainability under extreme stress<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Kingsbarns Golf Links: Sustainability under extreme stress&#8221; &#8212; Golf Sustainable\" src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/sustainable-excellence-kingsbarns-golf-links\/embed\/#?secret=RdEFGYQ90s#?secret=3dLGRH9TIV\" data-secret=\"3dLGRH9TIV\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>No, explains Robert Brewer, who initially worked at Sunningdale Golf Club, he could never have imagined that all these sustainability issues would one day be part of his professional environment.
