Rockliffe Hall’s world class golf course is celebrating after winning three big accolades at two different award ceremonies.
The Greenkeeping and Estate teams, headed by Jon Wyer and Davy Cuthbertson, won the coveted title of Greenkeeper of the Year at the 59Club Awards at The Belfry on Monday night (27th February).
The golf course has also been awarded Gold Flag Status, reinforcing Rockliffe as one of the top venues in the Golfing Industry alongside Gleneagles, The Grove, The Emirates and Dubai Creek.
Not only that, but Rockliffe Hall has been named the Number One golf resort in the UK and Number Three in Europe by Leadingcourses.com. Released annually, this go-to list combines the rating from Leadingcourses.com for the golf facility and the rating for the hotel from Booking.com.
“This is great news for Rockliffe Hall. Our Golf team works tirelessly to be the best and provide the ultimate facilities. To win these three awards in such close succession is a fabulous achievement. Rockliffe Hall has only been open for 7 years and we’re beating off stiff competition from well-established golf clubs and resorts that have been round for many decades.”
