MKM Barrow Strengthens Community Ties with New Partnership at Barrow Golf Club

MKM Building Supplies Barrow, led by director Paul Curwen, is proud to announce a new commercial partnership with Barrow Golf Club—a collaboration set to support both the club’s continued growth and the wider local community.

Barrow Golf Club has long been regarded as one of the area’s premier sporting venues. Founded in 1921, the club offers a challenging parkland course stretching over 6,200 yards, alongside a wide range of facilities including a practice range, PGA Coaching and shop, and a popular clubhouse featuring its well-regarded restaurant and bar, Hole19@Barrowgolfclub.

The club continues to thrive in 2026, and with 800 members and more than 1,000 weekly visitors, the club provides an excellent platform for local businesses to engage with the community.

Through this new partnership, MKM Barrow will enable the club’s ongoing investment in its course, clubhouse and amenities, ensuring it remains a valued community hub for generations to come.

Speaking on the partnership, Paul Curwen said:

“Barrow Golf Club is a fantastic local asset, and we’re delighted to be working with them. Supporting organizations that bring people together and strengthen our community is something we’re very passionate about at MKM. Personally, as someone who loves sport, it makes this partnership even more special.”

Steve Slater – Honorary Secretary at Barrow Golf Club added:

“We’re thrilled to welcome MKM Barrow as a commercial partner. Their strong reputation in the area and commitment to supporting local initiatives makes them an ideal fit for our club. Partnerships like this are vital in helping us continue to enhance what we offer to members and visitors alike.”

MKM Barrow has a strong track record of community engagement, including support for local sports teams and charities such as St Mary’s Hospice. The branch supplies both trade and retail customers with an extensive range of building materials, landscaping products, and kitchen and bathroom solutions.

This partnership further cements MKM Barrow’s role as a key supporter of local sport, leisure, and community development—helping to support local sport and ensure that Barrow Golf Club remains a thriving destination both on and off the course.

Barrow Golf Club is a jewel set amidst the splendour of the Lake District and the beauty of the Furness Peninsula.

Formed in 1921, its elevated position, overlooking the Duddon estuary and with glorious views of the Lakeland mountains, provides a fitting backdrop to this 18 hole, 6200 yard, Par 71, championship golf course.

The course is designed to provide exciting and challenging golf to test players of all standards. Whether you are a seasoned all year golfer or a casual green fee player, Barrow Golf Club offers friendly and relaxed hospitality to all.
