What are the benefits of improved environmental
performance?
Image and Reputation
Good environmental performance can help you
differentiate your course from others in a
crowded market and add value by improving public
relations and marketing opportunities that
attract new golfers or club members.
Customer Satisfaction
The nature of your course can enrich golfers’
experience of the game. Surveys have shown that
golfers report that playing quality is
maintained or even improved as a result of steps
taken to manage a course in harmony with the
natural environment.
Financial Performance
An effective golf course environmental
management program can result in reduced
insurance premiums, as well as reduced costs for
energy, water, pesticides, or fertilizers.
Worker Safety and Reduced Liability
Best practices for chemical management reduce
exposure and liability risks from storing,
handling, and applying chemicals.
Improved Efficiency
Sound environmental management cuts down on
waste and promotes efficient operations. |
