Introducing various initiatives to help combat plastic waste

In the past two years, the club has used an average of 105,000 plastic water bottles. To help reduce our environmental impact, we’ve introduced aluminium water bottles, available at the first tee. Each golfer will receive one refillable, resealable bottle for use throughout their round.

Additionally, we’ve installed two new filtered water stations: one in the clubhouse to replace the water fountains and another at the Short Game Area. We also have fully operational water and ice stations at the cart staging area and on-course locations at holes 3, 6, the Turn, 14, and 16.

To further minimise waste, we’re eliminating plastic cups, lids, and straws on the course. Our Golf Course Maintenance team led this initiative by installing a water machine to refill reusable bottles, saving over 3,600 plastic bottles in the first eight months. The clubhouse has also adopted water machines to refill bottles, making significant strides towards a more sustainable future.
