Outline of Golf Ireland's Strategic Plan 2022-2026

Golf For Everyone - For Enjoyment, For Health, For Life

This Strategic Plan for the new organisation is rooted in the values that underpinned the Golf Ireland Proposal. It is the culmination of a deep and wide-ranging process of consultation and engagement between September and December 2021, a process that heard the views of several thousand people from both inside and outside the golf community. Overseen and guided by the Golf Ireland Board, it included an extensive golfer survey with over 10,000 respondents; a series of focus groups representing the many strands of our sport; consultation with our regional officers; and an island-wide quantitative survey of public opinion.

In addition, we consulted with key stakeholders within the golf sector including the PGA, Irish Golf Club Managers’ Association and Association of Turfgrass Professionals Ireland. We also consulted with our main external governance and funding partners – Sport Ireland, Sport NI and the R&A.

All of the very valuable feedback, ideas and suggestions from the consultation process were considered in the preparation of this Strategic Plan.

Our five focus areas, with 18 objectives, provide the broad aims that will drive the continued growth of golf. Our actions highlight how we will realise these objectives and the outcomes set out what we hope to achieve. 

The Strategic Plan will be supported by annual operational plans which will set out the timelines for the implementation of these actions.
