Bondhay Golf Club

What Bondhay Golf Club does

Bondhay Golf Club is a family-owned private golf club operating since 1993 from Worksop, Nottinghamshire, at the intersection of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and South Yorkshire. The club runs a 27-hole golf facility comprising an 18-hole championship Devonshire Course (par 72, sub-7000 yards), a 9-hole par 3 Academy Course, and an 8-bay Trackman-equipped driving range with real-time ball tracking, virtual courses, and online booking. Ancillary facilities include a Pro Shop stocking TaylorMade, Ping, and Callaway equipment, a clubhouse restaurant and bar with barista coffee service, a recently renovated 250-capacity Devonshire Suite for weddings and events, and a newly launched exclusive carp fishing lake operated in partnership with Embryo Angling.

The business operates on a diversified multi-stream revenue model: tiered annual memberships (Full 7 Day, 5 Day, OAP, Associate, Junior, Young Adult, Ladies Pathway, Joint, Family) with Pay-in-3 installments, usage-based pay-and-play green fees, Trackman range sessions (£5–£15), Pro Shop equipment sales, function suite hire (£250–£550 per day), F&B, fishing sessions (£50 per 24 hours), buggy hire, and sponsorship/signage. The club serves individual members, visitors and society groups, wedding and corporate clients, and fishing enthusiasts across the Yorkshire/EM region, with distribution via BRS Golf, YourGolfBooking, GolfNow, and a dedicated events team. Technology is primarily third-party (Trackman, BRS Golf, Golf Genius, Direct Debit payment systems); the club does not develop proprietary software.

Ownership and operations rest with the Hardisty family following the 2022 retirement of founder Alan Hardisty. His daughter Lisa Hardisty serves as Managing Director, with Josh Clarke as Operations Director and Mackenzie Clarke as Clubhouse Manager. The club has been recognized with multiple industry awards including Turnaround Club of the Year (2023) and Yorkshire Prestige Awards Golf Club of the Year (2023, 2024), and has won the Nottinghamshire Alliance league for four consecutive seasons.
