What a typical golf club or range uses and pays across the UK, from published benchmarks.
Figures are estimates from published UK benchmarks priced at 25p/kWh electricity, 7p/kWh gas and about £365 a year in standing charges. They are not quotes. See how we estimate.
Members' clubs, proprietary clubs, pay and play courses, par 3 courses and standalone floodlit driving ranges. The clubhouse behaves like a pub with a kitchen, the greenkeepers compound behaves like a small farm, and the range behaves like a floodlit car park. England Golf works with around 1,735 affiliated clubs and most hold their own supply contracts.
A clubhouse heated all winter for members who are mostly out on the course
Bar cellar cooling and bottle chillers running 24/7 whatever the trade
Metal halide floodlights on the range chewing through electricity every dark evening from October to March
Two, three or four separate meters for the clubhouse, the greenkeepers shed and the range, all on different contracts nobody has compared
Typical equipment loads across gyms, fitness and leisure, with annual kWh and cost bands from published benchmarks.
| Equipment | kWh a year | Cost a year (est.) |
|---|---|---|
| Air Handling & Ventilation (gym floor, pool hall) | 25,000–120,000 kWh | £6,250–£30,000 |
| Space Heating (gas boilers) | 40,000–180,000 kWh | £2,800–£12,600 |
| Showers & Changing Rooms | 12,000–45,000 kWh | £840–£11,250 |
| Cardio Equipment (treadmills, bikes, rowers) | 8,000–35,000 kWh | £2,000–£8,750 |
| Lighting (gym floor, courts, car park) | 10,000–40,000 kWh | £2,500–£10,000 |
| Pool Water Heating (gas) | 150,000–600,000 kWh | £10,500–£42,000 |
Get every supply point onto one renewal date. Most clubs have separate clubhouse, shed and range meters that quietly roll over at different times.
Move range and car park floodlighting to LED. The Football Foundation, which grant funds LED conversions, estimates around £8,000 a year saved per full size floodlit pitch, and a floodlit range is a comparable load.
Zone clubhouse heating so the function suite is not heated all week for two events a month.
Check cellar cooling condensers are clean and not in a hot cupboard. A dirty condenser makes the compressor run far harder than it needs to.
Charge the buggy fleet overnight and ask us whether a day/night rate suits your profile better than a single rate.
Illustrative example
A 24-hour gym of around 800 square metres
Ventilation, showers and lighting run around the clock, so unit rates on overnight use matter.
Illustrative example, not a real customer. Figures are estimates based on published UK benchmarks. See how we estimate. See all worked examples.
A 24-hour gym uses roughly double the energy of a nine-to-nine one, and a pool changes everything. Typical bills for gyms, studios, pools and clubs, and the overnight rate question.
