Royal Mid-Surrey Golf Club appoints a new General Manager

Royal Mid-Surrey Golf Club, with two 18-hole golf courses close to central London in Richmond, has appointed Carl Rutherford as its new General Manager.

Carl began his new role on Monday 6th July, succeeding Luke Edgcumbe, who was General Manager at the Club for the past seven years.

The former Managing Director at Bearwood Lakes Golf Club in Wokingham for 14 years, Carl has extensive experience in managing quality golf facilities, as well as a depth of knowledge of the food and beverage industry.

Carl was a Director at Caversham Heath Golf Club for four years and most recently, Managing Director of the Point Golf Club at Polzeath in Cornwall. He began his golfing career as an Assistant Professional at Caversham Heath, before progressing into club management.

“Carl brings a wealth of golfing and golf managerial experience to Royal Mid Surrey and joins the Club at an exciting time when we have waiting lists for Membership and a thriving Junior Academy, as well as the largest women’s section in the country. He will provide valuable leadership as the Club gradually starts to return to the new post-Covid normality,” said Chairman Chris Holt.

“I feel very privileged to be in a position to help the Club as it embarks on the next stage of its evolution, building on its rich and celebrated history,” said Carl. “With two world-class courses, excellent facilities and an amazing team in place, we have the perfect foundation upon which to build as we stake our rightful claim as one of the very best clubs in England.”
