The R&A Women in Golf Charter

A Commitment to a More Inclusive Culture Within Golf

At The Warwickshire Golf & Country Club, we are committed to fostering a culture that values the involvement of women and girls in every aspect of the game—from playing to professional careers in golf.

We call on everyone involved in the sport to play their part in developing an inclusive environment that supports and celebrates the contribution of women. Our aim is to increase the number of women and girls both playing and working in golf.

To achieve this, we recognise the need for a fundamental cultural shift within the game. There is both a clear ethical imperative and a significant economic opportunity in growing the sport by increasing female participation.

We support The R&A’s commitment to lead this important initiative and to collaborate with partners, affiliates, and the broader golf industry to effect meaningful change.
