THE Mere Golf Resort and Spa golf team has scooped ‘team of the year’ at this year’s Marketing Cheshire awards.

Having been shortlisted for both its winning category and ‘best marketing tourism campaign’ the team was triumphant at the ceremony held at Chester Racecourse on November 27.

Host to the R&A open qualifier for the past seven years, the Mere’s championship golf course has been the practising ground for a number of professional golfers.

Mark Lloyd, resort golf co-ordinator said: "We’re delighted to be recognised for our efforts in providing an exceptional customer experience.

“The Mere Golf Team don't simply offer a place to play. We understand what golfers love, loathe and expect from a luxury golf resort. Then we deliver an experience that goes beyond their expectations.

“The team’s ‘never say no’ attitude enables us to deliver exceptional service from start to finish, always putting the guests and client’s needs first.

“To be awarded for doing something we love is testament to our 'one team' mentality and the lengths we go to, to ensure world class customer service and a consistently high standard course.”

The golf team, who ensure ‘world class service’ and a well-maintained course, have been instrumental keeping the Mere as one of the ‘most premium golf courses in the UK.’ Marketing Cheshire said: “The judges believe that the winning team have thought outside the box to ensure visitors have a unique experience and add a great contribution to business growth.”
