Ireland’s Carr Golf Maintenance has announced a groundbreaking international partnership with Burhill Group Limited (BGL), one of the UK’s largest multi-club operators, to enhance agronomic standards and further elevate playing conditions across its golf venues in England.
For Carr Golf, the leading provider of golf course maintenance services on the island of Ireland, this partnership marks a major milestone in the company’s UK expansion and increases its client portfolio to 27 venues.
The collaboration brings together two family-owned businesses with deep roots in golf, combining BGL’s long-standing commitment to exceptional customer experiences with Carr Golf’s proven expertise in course maintenance, technical support, and data-driven agronomy.
Carr Golf will work closely with BGL’s course managers and greenkeeping teams to provide mechanical fleet support, technical maintenance guidance, and detailed agronomic programmes that deliver continuous, measurable improvements to course playability and presentation.
By adopting Carr Golf’s data-driven approach, the consultancy will also help BGL achieve sustainability objectives, maximise resource efficiency, and optimise long-term investment decisions.
Shared values
Ed Pettit, Managing Director of Carr Golf Maintenance, said: “We’re delighted to partner with BGL and bring our agronomic expertise, technical support, and data-driven approach to their outstanding portfolio of venues.
“Our focus is on working hand-in-hand with course managers and greenkeeping teams – supporting them with the tools, insight, and training they need to help raise standards, improve sustainability, and deliver an even better experience for golfers. This collaboration is built on shared values and a passion for continuous improvement, and we’re excited to see what we can achieve together.”
Major step
“Partnering with Carr Golf represents a major step forward for BGL as we continue to raise the standard of our golf courses and invest in our people,” said Guy Riggott, Chief Operating Officer of BGL’s Golf Division.
“As environmental, technological, and financial pressures grow, we believe that working collaboratively with experts who share our values will help us meet these challenges head on and deliver an even better experience for our growing number of members and guests.”
Best practices
Carr Golf has already begun integrating with clubs across the BGL portfolio, working closely with maintenance teams to implement best practices and develop new agronomic programmes.
This process will continue throughout the remainder of the year and beyond, ensuring every venue is equipped to meet future challenges while consistently progressing in course quality and playing conditions.
