Ute Creek Golf Course Recognized for Environmental Excellence

LONGMONT, Colo. – Audubon International is recognizing Ute Creek Golf Course for 10 years of certification as an Audubon International Cooperative Sanctuary through its commitment to environmental stewardship and efforts to maintain a comprehensive environmental management program focused on wildlife and habitat management, water conservation, resource management, and outreach and education.

“We're very proud to count Ute Creek Golf Course among our members,” said Christine Kane, CEO at Audubon

International. “They made environmentally sustainable golf course management an integral part of their operating principles long before it became an accepted option. Their leadership has already brought many benefits to their community over the past decade and will continue to do so long into the future.”

To reach certification in the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program (ACSP) for Golf Courses, a course must maintain a high degree of environmental quality in several areas including Environmental Planning, Wildlife & Habitat Management, Outreach and Education, Chemical Use Reduction and Safety, Water Conservation, and Water Quality Management. After designation, courses must go through a recertification process every three years.

Ute Creek Golf Course is one of about 750 courses in the world to be designated as a certified ACSP for Golf course. Through participation in the ACSP for Golf, Ute Creek Golf Course has been involved in numerous environmental projects, including conserving energy and reducing water use, utilizing integrated pest management techniques, naturalizing areas, and managing resources in an environmentally responsible manner.

“Everyone involved with the Ute Creek Golf Course is honored for the course to be recognized by Audubon International for the tenth year,” said Golf Course Supervisor, Dan Reese. “Sustainability is a top priority for the Longmont City Council, and the City of Longmont, and it’s terrific that Ute Creek Golf Course serves as an example of success in the City.”

Audubon International is an environmental organization dedicated to educating, assisting, and inspiring millions of people from all walks of life to protect and sustain the land, water, wildlife, and natural resources around them. In addition to golf courses, Audubon International also provides programs for businesses, communities, and new developments.
