Club properties continue to discover that taking steps to protect their little corners of the world is not only good for the environment, it can also make good business sense. At Kona Country Club on the Big Island of Hawaii, an eco-friendly golf course renovation will not only make the Ocean Course greener, it will also save the club some green in the process.
The six-month renovation will modernize the course, which was originally designed in 1966 by William Bell. The improvements will also introduce 21st-century environmental techniques that will help cut maintenance costs and reduce the course's use of the island's limited supply of fresh water.
