The GolfMark award is an accreditation scheme for golf clubs in the area of junior golf.
The scheme assesses golf clubs in the following three key areas:

• Coaching & Playing
• Club Environment
• Duty of Care & Child Protection

Clubs accredited with the GolfMark Award provide:

• A structured environment in which you can develop as a player and a person
• A fun, enjoyable, welcoming environment
• Access to appropriate levels of coaching and competition
• The opportunity to progress to your chosen playing level
• A sense of belonging to and involvement with a proactive club
• To be part of a game that will teach you respect, social and life skills, discipline, honesty, integrity, motivation and much more

GolfMark offers an online self-assessment scheme enabling clubs to identify for themselves areas where action is required, before having their formal assessment with the EGU/EWGA Regional Development Officer. Furthermore, GolfMark includes the Sport England ClubMark accreditation which covers the whole club, not just the junior section. Such accreditation is recommended if a sports club wishes to apply for any sort of grant from Local Authorities or other public funding body.
