The Golf Club at Lansdowne works toward environmental certification

The Golf Club at Lansdowne, nestled along the Potomac River in Leesburg, Virginia, is demonstrating its commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship by earning three new certifications from Audubon International as part of their efforts to become a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary.

The club was recognized for excellence in water conservation, environmental planning and for submitting an outstanding Environmental Case Study — a testament to its ongoing efforts to balance exceptional golf course conditions with responsible environmental practices. In addition to the recent certificates, golf course superintendent Marc Muniz, GCSAA, was honored with a Certificate of Achievement in Environmental Planning.

"Sustainability is more than a goal, it’s a responsibility," director of club and leisure Nick Zaloga said. "These certifications reflect the hard work of Marc and our entire team and are a big part of our goal to have our facility certified.”

Part of the Lansdowne Resort, The Golf Club at Lansdowne features 45 holes of championship golf, including courses designed by Greg Norman and Robert Trent Jones Jr.
