By shifting to digital communications, the resort significantly reduces paper usage while eliminating plastic tees and water bottles, contributing to a cleaner course. The introduction of electric golf buggies further enhances their eco-friendly approach.
The golf course also fosters biodiversity by re-wilding rough areas and planting native wildflowers, while minimizing fertiliser and chemical use. Local sourcing for materials and rainwater harvesting for irrigation help lower carbon emissions, while the expansive grass coverage naturally supports carbon sequestration. These combined efforts not only enhance local wildlife habitats but also demonstrate the resort’s unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship and conservation.
