This recognition positions Badgemore Park as a leading centre for junior golf development and reinforces the club’s commitment to providing a safe, inclusive, and inspiring environment for young people at every stage of their golfing journey.

The Junior Hub status is awarded to clubs that demonstrate outstanding standards in coaching, safeguarding, community engagement, and long-term player development. Badgemore Park’s achievement reflects its dedication to offering a structured pathway that helps juniors discover golf, build skills and confidence, and progress at a pace that suits them.

Martin Woodbridge, Director of Golf at Badgemore Park, shared his enthusiasm for the recognition and the club’s ethos around junior development: “We are incredibly proud that England Golf has identified Badgemore Park as the right place for juniors to try, learn, and love the game of golf. Our goal has always been to make golf accessible, enjoyable, and engaging for young players. This award affirms that we are creating the type of environment where juniors feel supported, encouraged, and excited to get involved.”

The club will continue to work closely with local schools, families, and community organisations to expand access and introduce even more young people to the sport.
