The Rookery at Marco, a private golf facility affiliated with the Marco Island Marriott Resort in Naples, Fla., is the latest property to achieve certification through the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses. The Rookery is the 19th property managed by Marriott Golf to achieve Audubon Certification, in response to a recent company-wide mandate.
As part of the property’s efforts to become Audubon Certified, The Rookery at Marco has reduced irrigated acres of property from 160 acres to 105 acres. In addition, The Rookery has designated 11 acres of land as a natural area and “no-spray zone,” using integrated pest management strategies whenever possible.
