Tidworth Garrison Golf Club Limited

What Tidworth Garrison Golf Club Limited does

Tidworth Garrison Golf Club Limited is a private members' golf club operating an 18-hole downland course on Salisbury Plain in Tidworth, Wiltshire, United Kingdom. Founded in 1908 and designed by the renowned architect H.S. Colt, the course sits on a chalk base that delivers exceptional year-round drainage — the club states it closes no more than five days per year, even in deep winter. The business is organised around a recurring membership model (Premier 7-Day, Country, Seasons Flex, and Junior tiers), serving more than 630 members who collectively played over 28,000 rounds last year. Secondary revenue streams include visitor green fees (£45–£73 depending on day/season), member-guest and society packages, corporate golf days, tee sponsorship, open competitions, food and beverage (clubhouse bar/restaurant, halfway hut, private hire), and a Pro Shop offering lessons, custom club fitting, repairs, and equipment sales.

The club's technology footprint centres on golf-operations rather than software platforms: intelligentgolf (version 10.1.2) powers online booking and member services; the Pro Shop deploys a GC Quad launch monitor, V1 iPad video analysis, and a 2025-launched Putting Studio using Huxley Putting Green, Putter Fitting Tool, and GC Quad Putting Analysis software. Distribution mixes self-serve online booking (with intelligentgolf) with channel partnerships (Golf South West travel network, Milford Hall IHG/VOCO hotel, TGI Golf buying group) and direct B2B sales for corporate/society events. Hosting relationships with the MOD, British Army, Royal Navy, Wiltshire Golf, and the PGA provide recurring institutional event revenue. The club generates over £1 million in annual revenue with consistent year-over-year growth, employs approximately 11 staff, and is independently owned by its members with no parent company or institutional investment identified.
