Information for Golf Clubs

Golf Empire is the UK's largest directory of amateur open golf competitions, used by more than 155,000 registered members and 641,000 unique golfers each year. If you run open competitions and want to fill your fields, promote membership, or simply put your course in front of the right kind of golfer, Golf Empire is the most cost-effective channel in the UK.

• The right audience — visitors come to Golf Empire for one reason: to find competitive amateur golf to enter. Not casual browsers, not aspirational golfers — active club golfers with handicaps who travel to play.
• National reach, local targeting — 93% of users are UK-based, distributed across all 50+ counties and regions. We can put your events in front of golfers in your area, your region, or nationally.
• Industry-leading engagement — 45%+ average newsletter open rate over the past 12 months, well above the 25–30% golf-industry benchmark.
• Established trust — 27+ years connecting clubs with golfers. Golf Monthly described us as “the cream of resources for finding golf competitions.”
• Independent and founder-run — not owned by a tee-time booking platform, not part of a wider directory group. We work directly for clubs.

"The last campaign you did for me brought 8 entries over that weekend alone, which I thought was fantastic. If anybody is wondering whether a mailshot from you is worth it, tell them to contact me."

Martin Ball, Secretary, Eaglescliffe Golf Club

"Happy to share that over £1,700 has been generated so far since the e-shot was sent out — really successful, with some repeat bookings too."

Callum Gray, Secretary, Keighley Golf Club

"Although we do a mailshot ourselves, the majority of entries come through your website entry form, which indicates how successful your service is to golf clubs around the country."

George Davies, Seniors Opens Organiser, Knighton Heath Golf Club

"We have filled the Spring Open which is great news, thanks mainly to the e-shot — worked really well."

James Washington, General Manager, Bradford Golf Club
