We ARE the destination; without a facility, the enjoyment of the sport is impossible. Consequently, we serve as the crucial link – being the industry's voice, a knowledge hub and nurturing various branches.

Exhilarating days at Gräflicher Park Health & Balance Resort in Bad Driburg last couple of days. The German Golf Course Owners - Bundesverband Golfanlagen e.V., one of the valuable national organizations and therefore part of the GCAE, celebrated its 25th anniversary. The event included a delightful dinner in the beautiful horse stables, a conference with inspiring and humorous speakers followed by a chic dinner. What was even more heartwarming to see was the friendly and welcoming atmosphere among the golf course owners / delegates. Thanks to an organization like the BVGA, golf courses know where and who to to turn to for information and inspiration. As a grand finale to the evening, there was a stunning fireworks display. Bad Driburg will remember this visit for a long time... Big compliments to Stuart Orme, Thomas Hasak and the entire team and family for the excellent organization. Here's to the next 25 years! #GCAE #Golfcourseowners #celebration #golfindustry #golfbusiness
