SUSTAINABILITY

As the UK's first combined golf club and wine estate, we are dedicated to preserving the natural beauty of the Sussex countryside while offering exceptional experiences in golf, wine, and hospitality. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do

    • Integrated Production: Following the Integrated Production of Wine (IPW) guidelines to minimise the use of harmful pesticides and chemicals.

    • Precision Agriculture: Using weather stations, drone imagery, and satellite data to monitor vine health and optimise irrigation and fertilisation.

    • Biological Pest Control: Introducing natural predators to manage pests such as the mealybug, reducing the need for harsh insecticides.

    • Soil Management: Applying organic mulches and planting cover crops to enhance soil fertility, suppress weeds, and improve water retention.

    • Wildlife Conservation: Installing owl boxes to naturally control rodent populations without the use of chemicals.

  • Our Waterfall and Kingfisher golf courses are maintained with eco-friendly methods to ensure pristine playing conditions year-round: 

    • Soil Health: Implementing verti-drainage, spiking, and slitting techniques to promote healthy grass growth and reduce reliance on chemical treatments.

    • Water Conservation: Utilising deep aeration to improve water infiltration, creating firmer, free-draining surfaces that require less irrigation.

    • Chemical Reduction: Minimising fungicide applications by encouraging robust turf through cultural practices, reducing usage from seven to just three or four applications annually.

    • Future Initiatives: Planning the installation of a machinery washdown area that uses recycled and rainwater, further conserving valuable resources.

    • Under the leadership of Penny Streeter OBE, we are committed to continuous improvement in our sustainable practices. Our vision includes: 

      • Resource Efficiency: Expanding the use of renewable resources and reducing waste across all operations. 

      • Community Engagement: Promoting a culture of respect, equality, and upliftment among our staff and guests. 

      • Heritage Preservation: Safeguarding the rich history and biodiversity of our estate for future generations to enjoy.
