a major industry that generates jobs,
commerce, economic development and tax
revenues for communities throughout the
country.

For years, the golf industry has been dedicated to
environmental responsibility in the design,
construction and management of golf courses.
Some of the game's leading organizations have
invested considerable resources in this effort and
are now leading golf's drive toward
sustainability. The shared goal of the industry is
to offer a sustainable asset to the community that
is managed with a focus on water conservation,
water quality protection and energy savings.
0.5% - Percent that golf course irrigation
accounts for of the 408 billion gallons of water
used daily in the U.S.
65% - Number of golf course facilities that
have completed upgrades to their irrigation
systems over the past ten years.
15% -Fewer than 15% of golf courses utilize
municipal water supplies.
Golf courses have an average of 11 acres of water bodies
(lakes, ponds, wetlands, streams). This number is nearly
double the amount of the acreage of greens and tees.
Approximately 12% of golf courses in the U.S. currently
use recycled water for irrigation. Using recycled water is a
win /win situation for communities and the golf course
because communities benefit from the sale of recycled
water and golf courses have learned how to effectively
utilize this water to irrigate turf grass.
The golf industry has been proactively increasing a
multitude of wildlife habitat. Nearly half of all golf courses
increased their acreage of native /natural /unmowed areas by
an average of ten acres between 1996 and 2005
Golf courses in the U.S. averaged many different
environmental improvements since 1996. Among
them:
• Irrigation system upgrades
• Installing native plantings
• Creating wildlife habitat areas
• Erosion control measures
• Enhancing wetlands
• Improvements to fuel storage, equipment
washing pads and chemical storage and
handling facilities.

Golf has a longstanding history of giving back
to society. It starts with the values of
sportsmanship, respect and integrity that are
inherent in the game and passed on to kids
who learn the game, and continues with
billions of dollars raised annually for charities
across the country.
$3.5 billion -The national charitable impact
of golf in 2005.
$130 million - Charitable amount generated
by the PGATOUR, LPGA and other
professional tours.
16,000 - Approximate number of golf facilities
throughout the country majorly responsible for
serving as access points for annual fundraising

p roviding scholarships to the families of
veterans who have been injured or perished in
the line of duty in Iraq or Afghanistan.
