| Abstract/Contents: | "GCSAA's Golf Course Environmental Profile is a data collection project that will provide new insight into the property features, management practices and inputs associated with golf courses across the United States. This is the first report on the project. The research detailed within helps portray the current environmental state of golf facilities, determine the future direction of environmental efforts, provide information for inquiries about environmental issues, document change over time made by golf facilities with regard to the environment, and identify key issues for potential future research. This is the first of a series of planned surveys, conducted to collect the data necessary to develop a national Golf Course Environmental Profile. Overall, it offers an accurate portrayal of golf course land use to guide the golf industry's agronomic and environmental initiatives, and it establishes a baseline that can be compared to data from future surveys to identify change over time. The objectives of the first survey, and translated into volume one of this report, were to determine the following: Total acreage of a golf course; Land-use characteristics; Acreage devoted to each component of the golf course; Grass species grown on each golf course component; Acreage dedicated to natural resources and environmental stewardship practices. The survey was sent to 16,009 golf course superintendents in the U.S. Golf courses were stratified by agronomic region, course type and number of holes. All types of golf courses were adequately represented in the results. Highlighting the report are the following results: The total acreage of an average 18-hole golf course in the U.S. is 150 acres, of which 100 acres (67 percent) is maintained turfgrass.; The remaining acreage includes (Non-turfgrass vegetation (16 percent); Water bodies (7 percent); Buildings (4 percent); Bunkers (3 percent); Parking lots (3 percent)); Cool-season grasses are grown on 66 percent of all maintained turfgrass acreage of golf courses, while warm-season grasses comprise 34 percent.; Approximately 44 percent of golf courses have increased their non-turfgrass areas by nearly 10 acres over the past decade.; In that time period, an average of five environmental improvements were made on 18-hole golf courses.; At courses involved in voluntary environmental programs, an average of seven environmental improvements were made from 1996 to 2006." |
