SUSTAINABILITY AT MACHYNYS
It is difficult to imagine that Machynys was once a site that was heavily polluted and industrialised, but after several years of development and improvement it is now a site of beauty and tranquility. Our approach has always been a practical one, simultaneously striving to provide the best golfing experience, whilst harmoniously developing the significant existing site biodiversity, delivering both with equal vigour.
Sustainable development is at the heart of our decision-making process and what we do. We will strive to maintain our place as an environmental partner of the R&A, leading golf course environmental best practices in Wales and the UK.
THE VISION
To continue to develop Machynys as a haven for wildlife. Environmental responsibility will continue to be at the heart of everything we do in our Golf, Spa, Leisure and Food & Beverage departments.
OUR STRATEGY
To maintain our relationship as an Environmental partner with the R&A through the GEO Programme.
OUR COMMITMENT
Machynys will be conducting an annual review through the GEO platform, to establish areas for improvement and define clear and concise strategic goals.
