红旗谷球场将球道中的一部分非击打区长草区域放弃养护或者低频率养护,使之成为低维护或者不维护的区域。具体操作为,挑选球场上形态奇特或落点附近,球手频繁经过的景观树,将这些松树下、或者球车道旁边的长草区进行彻底拔除。收集松树掉落的松针、以及球场使用剩下的废木屑,铺放到长草被拔出后的树下区域,整修地面形状,使之成为显而易见的整修区域,废弃的松针颜色金光,与松树常年的翠绿形成明显的颜色对比,这一抹金黄也给与整个球道独特的视觉冲击。在树下设立GEO环保示范区的标志,向球手们展示该区域的环保修剪理念。 增加了球场观赏度、减少球员找球时间、大大降低草坪维护成本。 同时将球场上特殊位置、特殊形状、对俱乐部有特殊意义的树木进行命名并钉装树牌,向球手展示树种信息,对自然和整个球场的作用,增加球场上的宣传亮点,以此推广GEO的可持续发展环保理念。

The Red Flag Valley Course naturalized a portion of the rough next to the fairway, making them low or no maintenance. This was accomplished by selecting landscape trees on the course that have an odd shape or are near drop-off points that golfers frequently pass, and completely removing the rough areas under these pine trees or along the cart paths. The pine needles and leftover wood chips were collected from the pine trees and placed under the trees after the grass was pulled out, and the ground was reshaped to make it an obvious area for renovation.
The GEO environmental demonstration area sign was set up under the trees to show the golfers the environmental protection pruning concept of the area. It increases the course appearance, reduces players' time to find the ball, and greatly reduces the maintenance cost of the lawn. At the same time, trees with special locations, shapes and significance to the club were named and pinned with tree signs to show players information about the tree species, their role in nature and the course as a whole, and to increase the promotional highlights on the course, thus promoting GEO's sustainable development and environmental protection concept.
