Numerous local UK golf clubs, from amateur to private, host inspiring annual charity golf days dedicated to meaningful causes such as hospice support, health research charities like Macmillan and Prostate Cancer UK, and community fundraising initiatives.
Even clubs without a prominent public profile can make a significant impact on charity fundraising within their local communities, fueled by passionate member engagement and cherished annual event traditions.
In 2025, I discovered five remarkable golf clubs in the UK that achieved outstanding fundraising success. The rankings below reflect only publicly disclosed figures.
It’s important to acknowledge that many UK golf clubs conduct annual charity days without widely published totals, particularly local or regional clubs.

Ramsdale Park Golf Centre‘s achievements in 2025
Ramsdale Park Golf Centre has celebrated a remarkable year of fundraising, raising £32,000 in 2025 for two vital causes:
- Emmanuel House Support Centre and
- Cystic Fibrosis support.
The funds were officially presented to the charities during the club’s annual presentation evening on 7 November, reflecting not just a successful year but also a deep-rooted commitment to community support across Nottinghamshire.
This achievement is part of a larger legacy, with over £250,000 raised in the last decade alone.
Through regular fundraising events, section-led activities, auctions, and member-organised initiatives, every contribution has played a crucial role in achieving this year’s total.
Members, visitors, and team members from across the club have united to champion these causes, nurturing a strong charitable culture that is a hallmark of Ramsdale Park Golf Centre.
