Eco-friendly, off-grid toilet systems offer comfort and convenience for female players at remote or under-equipped courses
Access to basic facilities like toilets is still a concern at many golf courses across the UK and Ireland — especially for women.
Healthmatic, a nationwide supplier of eco-composting toilets, is responding to an increase in calls from clubs and female golfers seeking a solution for courses where traditional plumbing isn’t available.
Their Eco Toilet is a 100% off-grid system that doesn’t require electricity, water, or sewage connections — making it a practical and environmentally friendly choice for golf courses, particularly in rural or environmentally sensitive areas.
Why the Issue Matters for Women Golfers
Unlike male players, who may feel more able to improvise when nature calls mid-round, many women golfers face discomfort and frustration when there are no suitable facilities on the course. This not only affects enjoyment of the game but can also discourage participation.
Clubs like the K Club, Tulfarris, and Druids Glen have already addressed this issue by installing Healthmatic units. But as more female members and visitors raise concerns, there’s growing awareness that proper toilet provision is not a luxury — it’s a necessity.
A Low-Impact, High-Value Fix
Healthmatic’s Eco Toilets are designed for public use and can be installed virtually anywhere. Built with a galvanised steel frame and clad in chemical-free Thermowood®, the unit is durable, weather-resistant, and accessible to users with reduced mobility.
The system relies on solar-powered airflow to manage waste and eliminate odours — no need for chemicals, straw, or sawdust. A light breeze is enough to activate the extractor, while the toilet’s airflow system naturally reduces waste and keeps the environment hygienic.
Quick Installation, Minimal Disruption
The entire unit can be delivered on a double pallet and installed in as little as two days by experienced contractors. Options include waterless urinals and multi-unit setups for higher traffic areas. Healthmatic also offers guidance for clubs on selecting contractors or can recommend installers directly.
This kind of setup could be particularly useful on longer courses or at points far from the clubhouse.
Raising Awareness in the Golf Community
Healthmatic says it’s been hearing from a growing number of clubs about the lack of appropriate toilet facilities — particularly for women. By highlighting the availability of practical, eco-friendly solutions, they hope more golf course managers will act.
