Billy Casper Golf’s course maintenance teams consistently deliver outstanding golf course conditions. 

Our attention to detail and commitment to sound agronomic practice provides for the most enjoyable guest experience.

But there’s more to caring for a golf course than that.

BCGreen™, the golf industry’s leading environmental initiative, commits to preserve our planet and to manage turf in an environmentally friendly way.  We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint, improving our “Green” practices, and keeping these principals at the core of our agronomic program:

• Reduce, reuse and recycle 
• Adhere to all pertinent regulations and strive to surpass compliance
• Create ways to reduce or eliminate pollution and waste
• Always strive to be an environmentally responsible member of the community

We do this by enrolling every course we manage in Audubon International’s Cooperative Sanctuary Program, and by employing these five proven strategies

Wildlife and Habitat Management

By expanding our knowledge of the plants, wildlife species, and habitats found on each golf course, we provide a habitat for a variety of wildlife species in non-play and non-landscaped areas.  We also preserve the rich biological diversity of each course by protecting existing native habitats and species, and landscape primarily with indigenous plants.

Outreach and Education

To ensure ongoing support for environmental stewardship initiatives and strengthen local community connections, we communicate our commitment to Green practices.  We educate golfers, staff, decision makers, and community members about programs and projects on the golf course which improve environmental quality.  And we provide opportunities for all to be involved in environmental projects on the golf course.

Chemical Use Reduction

By expanding our knowledge of integrated pest management, chemical use issues, and alternative pest control measures, we maintain turf grass in a vigorous and healthy state using fewer chemicals.  We train our teams to apply all chemical products in a manner that minimizes harmful environmental impacts.  And we make certain that chemicals are properly stored and handled, and equipment is properly maintained to reduce the potential for negative environmental impacts.

Water Conservation

We identify water resources of the golf course and make a commitment to judicious water use.  We maintain irrigation equipment for maximum efficiency and minimal water waste, and implement water conservation practices.  To maintain soil and turf health, and to minimize water loss to evaporation and runoff, we ensure maximum water absorption.

Water Quality Management

To ensure the healthy ecological functioning of water bodies, such as rivers, streams, wetlands, lakes, and ponds, we employ best management practices to eliminate the potential for chemical runoff, nutrient loading, and drift.  We monitor the health of all water features to detect possible movement of nutrient and chemical inputs into water sources and correct problems as needed.

How would Billy Casper Golf’s BCGreen™ make a difference at your course? 

and we will be happy to show you how.
