Who are we?
Mapperley Golf Club is a friendly local facility in the heart of our community. We believe that golf is a game for all, and that our course, clubhouse, outside space should be a pleasant, inviting and safe place where members, neighbours and visitors can come together in good and bad times
Why are we crowdfunding?
Like many local sports clubs we have struggled to make ends meet over the past few years, and have been hit by increased costs. Our members really care about our club and the facilities we offer. We believe that the club can play a central role in our community and would like to create spaces that visitors and our neighbouring community want to come and enjoy.
The patio area outside our clubhouse is looking tired and we would like to raise funds to make this area more appealing for all users. The outside space is rare in in our local area and we would like our members and visitors to have a beautiful area where they can come together.
How we’ll spend the money raised
A number of our members have already offered to provide time and expertise free of charge. Funds raised will be used to buy materials for the new area.
Community impact
The improved space will be a place where members, visitors and neighbours can come and enjoy a drink when the sun shines. It will also provide an attractive area that can be used alongside functions that take place at the club (e.g. weddings, funerals, birthday parties etc.). In parallel to this project the club are actively seeking to encourage junior and new golfer to take up our wonderful game. The improved outside seating area will provide a place where parents, partners, family and friends can wait in a relaxing setting while enjoying a drink or bite to eat.
