About Us
The British & International Golf Greenkeepers Association was
formally created on January 1, 1987 from an amalgamation of the British
Golf Greenkeepers Association, The English and International Golf
Greenkeepers Association and The Scottish and International Golf
Greenkeepers Association, forming a membership of 1,200.
Today BIGGA
boasts over 7,000 members which not only include Greenkeepers but also
Associate Members and Student Members.
Eleven years later, in October 1998, BIGGA was proud to welcome His Royal Highness The Duke of York to officially open BIGGA HOUSE, the Association's new headquarters. Housing 18 members of staff and with a state-of-the-art training room, the Association has the facilities to enhance further its services to its members and the greenkeeping profession.
Mission Statement
BIGGA is dedicated to the continuing professional development of its members and in serving their needs will strive through education and training for standards of excellence in golf course management throughout the greenkeeping profession.
