In 1994, TPC Scottsdale joined the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary System, which provides information and guidance to golf courses to help them preserve and enhance wildlife habitat and protect natural resources.
"TPC Scottsdale has shown a strong commitment to its environmental program. They are to be commended for their efforts to provide a sanctuary for wildlife on the golf course property," said Cindy Bradley, environmental educator for the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary System.
"To reach certification, a course must demonstrate that they are maintaining a high degree of environmental quality in a number of areas," explained Bradley. These categories include: Environmental Planning, Wildlife & Habitat Management, Outreach and Education, Integrated Pest Management, Water Conservation, and Water Quality Management. Golf courses from the United States, Canada, and Europe have also achieved certification in the program.
General Manager Bill Grove stated, "Everyone at TPC Scottsdale is extremely pleased of our 12 years for our certification process and being one of the 138 courses in the world to be recognized with this honor. Our superintendent and all our staff should all be commended for their hard work and contributions in achieving this distinction. We are all very proud to be part of protecting and enhancing our environment for nature, our residents around the course, and all the visitors that come to our club to experience the beauty of desert golf. We are all looking forward to continuing to enhance the environment around the club and golf course, as well as educating our residents and guests about our 'Living Environment'."
