Becoming a Certified Carbon Neutral Golf Course positions your facility as a leader in sustainability. Get ahead of government and industry regulations, as well as consumer pressure, by proactively leaning into the push for greater sustainability.
Enhanced Marketing
Becoming Carbon Neutral provides new avenues and opportunities to market and promote your facility as good stewards of the planet. It also doesn't need to be viewed as a cost center. New opportunities for revenue and the ability to differentiate yourself and attract community events could make your sustainability strategy a driver of additional revenue as well as more welcoming to a new demographic.
