Sustainability
The course at Shortland Golf Club is built using synthetic turf for tees, greens and even bunkers. Natural grass greens demand significant amounts of water and chemical treatments to maintain their quality, even more so during the high-traffic, warmer months. In contrast, synthetic turf requires no water and drastically cuts down the need for dangerous chemicals, contributing to water conservation efforts and reducing the ecological footprint of golf courses.
Along with the ecological advantages of our synthetic turf, the surrounding landscape design features native grasses and plants that will require very little water and will be allowed to go dormant during the summer, lowering our footprint even further. These areas also provide a familiar habitat for native wildlife including our little Shorty bird ;).
