On 13th January 2023, Mr Baynes visited the Club and met with Club Manager, Hayley Henson and Marketing Director, Steve Cooke and was able to learn about the important role the Club plays for the local area. The Club has over 500 members and employs seven people including five green staff and attracts over 5,000 visitors to the Llangollen area to play golf, many of whom stay locally to the benefit of the local economy.

The Club is also very focused on preserving and improving the environment and ecology on and around its beautiful course as can be seen on its website - https://www.vlgc.co.uk/environment-ecology/
