Race To The Grove

Industry Connections: There’s no better way to get to know someone than over a few hours on the fairways. It’s a chance to compete alongside other colleagues and friends from the industry, and build real relationships that actually last beyond the 18th green.

Healthy Competition: Let’s be honest—everybody loves a bit of friendly rivalry. Whether it’s builders vs. architects or joiners vs. groundworkers, there’s nothing quite like defending the honour of your trade on the course. The bragging rights alone are huge.

Golf with a Purpose: We are proud to partner with Lighthouse, the charity dedicated to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of the construction community. By entering, you’re helping us raise awareness and funds for a cause that’s close to home for many of our players. It’s a chance to enjoy the game while giving back to the trades that keep the country moving.

Exceptional Venues: Your journey to the final isn't just about winning; it’s about the experience. Our knockout rounds take place at some of Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire's most highly-regarded clubs, ensuring every match is played in an environment of quality and prestige.

Follow in Tiger's Footsteps: Our tournament culminates at one of the finest golf destinations in the world. Qualifiers will secure their place at Finals Day at The Grove, competing on the same immaculate fairways that Tiger Woods bestrode when winning the 2006 WGC-American Express Championship. It's also more recently played host to the British Masters.

More Than Just the Title: While the glory of being crowned 2026 Champion is the main event, there's a number of great prizes to play for too. We’ve teamed up with some fantastic sponsors who've kindly donated some great prizes for our top teams, including new Irons from AB Golf, top-tier apparel from Sounder golf and much more.

An All-Inclusive Experience: Your entry fee covers all green fees throughout the tournament journey plus a unique welcome pack. While teams coordinate their own match times to suit their schedules, the costs at the pro shop are already taken care of—from your opening round all the way to the final putt at The Grove.

Be Part Of The Conversation: The competition doesn’t end on the 18th green. We’re tracking the tournament on LinkedIn and Instagram—from the first tee-off to the final trophy lift. We encourage all teams to share their match-day photos and results, tag us Barr Group & @barr.build and use #RaceToTheGrove. We have massive plans for 2027, and the more noise we make this year, the bigger and better the tournament becomes for everyone involved. Don't forget to tag our amazing sponsors too.
