From Local Club to National Recognition
Marton Meadows in the heart of the Cheshire countryside, has long played an important role in supporting local golf development. The club has regularly been used as a coaching base for Cheshire junior golfers, helping to introduce younger players to the game and nurture emerging talent.
Despite competing against larger and more established clubs across the country, Marton Meadows impressed judges throughout the award process.
After several months of assessments and interviews, the club was officially named GCMA ‘Team of the Year’ 2025.
The announcement was made during the biennial GCMA Conference held at De Vere Cotswold Water Park Hotel, where golf industry professionals from across the UK gathered to celebrate excellence within the sport.
Accepting the Award on Behalf of the Team
Representing the club at the ceremony were General Manager Chad Parker and Assistant Manager Lisa Harrop, who proudly accepted the award on behalf of the Marton Meadows team.
The recognition came after a rigorous nomination process which included a “Dragons’ Den–style” interview presentation held at the historic Royal Blackheath Golf Club.
For the team at Marton Meadows, the award reflects the dedication and hard work of everyone involved in running the club.
Lisa Harrop said:
“Our entire team are already champions in our eyes. Their warm welcome and commitment to customer service have always been second to none. But for their hard work and dedication to be officially recognised by a national governing body is truly amazing. We’re over the moon.”

Set in the picturesque village of Marton, the course combines scenic countryside views with a friendly club environment that has helped build a loyal local golfing community.
This approach to accessibility has made Marton Meadows a popular destination for players around the North West.
Supporting the Future of Golf in Cheshire
The club’s involvement in junior golf coaching programmes has been an important factor in its growing reputation. By helping develop young golfers across the county, Marton Meadows continues to play a key role in strengthening the future of the sport in Cheshire.
