Fountaingrove Golf & Athletic Club’s (Santa Rose, Calif.) greens are green enough to be certified by the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary.
A two-year effort to reduce chemical use, conserve water and manage wildlife and habitat has paid off with recognition for environmental stewardship by Audubon International, the 57th course in California and the 785th in the world to receive such an honor.
“Jon Griffith on our greens committee brought it up two years ago, and the committee pushed for it,” said Fountaingrove board President Ken Mackay.
“It’s an honor not only for our course but also the staff team that worked hard to achieve it and continues to keep the course special.”
