Trinity Forest and Bluejack National are garnering global attention for the state, while projects at Maridoe GC and Squaw Creek GC are also of note.

A contractor’s tactics for obtaining water to use for dust control while building Trinity Forest Golf Course stood in direct contrast with environmental pledges made by the city in promoting the project, which is being built on a landfill site within the boundaries of America’s largest urban forest. The practice, which drained a nearby pond, destroyed a beaver habitat and killed much of the fish population, has been stopped, but conservationists are now watching the project much more closely.
