During a packed Environment Session at the World Forum of Golf Architects in St. Andrews, Scotland, the Golf Environment Organization (GEO) debuted their draft Guidelines for Sustainable Golf Development.
Since the project commenced in 2009, GEO has been co-coordinating a team of experts in the creation of globally applicable guidelines that will enable the diverse stakeholders in golf development to achieve higher standards of social, economic and environmental return on investment.
The guidelines interface golf development with a sustainability agenda, resulting in a framework of processes, principles and technical information that can be applied to any project, anywhere in the world, from a 6-star resort to a 6-hole children’s course.
The summary brochure distributed at the World Forum, also detailing the next steps for the project partners, can be downloaded from www.golfenvironment.org/guidance/new-development/
