Haigh Hall Golf Complex in Wigan has hit a fantastic ‘hole in one’ after
being awarded a prestigious accolade for excellence at the first
attempt.
The complex is one of just a handful of courses across the country to
have been given a Charter Mark - the government's national standard for
customer service excellence.
Having Charter Mark status recognises the values of customer focus, high
quality service and an organisation’s commitment to continuous
improvement. To achieve the standard, Haigh’s team had to demonstrate
that it set very high service standards and actively engaged with
customers, partners and staff at all times.
Set in the beautiful surrounding of Haigh Hall and Country Park, the
complex has a championship standard 18-hole course, with an additional
9-hole course and Himalayan putting green.
Haigh’s unique golf academy, which attracts hundreds of young players
each year, was a major factor in it achieving Charter Mark status. In
2007 Haigh’s team of professionals golf instructors have introduced
around 2,500 children to the sport through the Haigh Tigers scheme.
Haigh is also used as an elite training centre for the region’s best
young golfers by the Lancashire Union of Golf Clubs.
Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust Executive Director Stuart Murray said:
“The beauty of Haigh is not only its surroundings but that we provide
golfing opportunities to a wide range of people. We support young
players and amateurs who are just starting out, but we also have our
well established regular customers who can enjoy a course that is now
playing really well following the completion of its redevelopment.
“I’m sure our visitors already appreciate the excellent service from our
staff. It’s great that now we have official recognition of their
dedication, hard work and skill in providing the best welcome to our
golfers.”
