Audubon Lifestyles has answered the call made by many, and after many tireless months of developing the Audubon Lifestyles Sustainable Golf Facility Program, we are proud to have the program available for interested golf courses who wish to participate!  
 
The program will be used not only to assist golf courses owners, superintendents and managers looking for ways be more sustainable in how they operate their golf course, but also calculate their level of sustainability and earn recognition for their actions. Unlike traditional certification programs who simply award (or deny) certification, the Audubon Lifestyles Sustainable Golf Course Rating Program will gauge a golf course’s level of sustainability, and provide incentives in which future activities on the golf course can take place and earn recognition.
 
The program went through a peer review process by a range of golf course industry leaders, governmental agencies, and conservation groups who reviewed (among other things) the program audit, which includes the following five sections: “Economics & Business”, “The Maintenance Facility”, “Water Quality and Conservation”, “Turf, Natural Areas, & Wildlife”, and “Outreach and Education”.
 
The Audubon Lifestyles Sustainable Golf Advisory Group has been hard at work during this collaborative process, and are pleased to finally be able to provide this program to golf courses throughout the United States and beyond.  We are currently  seeking pilot members who wish to participate in the program, and welcome any golf course interested.
