Mimosa Plus Golf Advocates for Sustainability
The movement towards a sustainable and ecological future for the golf industry is underway at Mimosa Plus Golf. The premier open course in Clark proudly presents its sustainability initiatives and solidifies its commitment to promote change and be a pioneering force in the country’s golfing community. Here are the current initiatives towards a better golfing ecosystem:
Our Quest to be GEO certified
GEO is a sustainability group founded to support the golfing industry, to make a positive ecological and environmental impact on both players and nature. Its vision is to place social and environmental issues at the roots of the game; to prove that golf is good for nature and communities. It is developed to the highest credibility standard, to help golf facilities, developments and tournaments demonstrate and be recognized for their environmental and social responsibility.
Water Preservation
Mimosa Plus Golf Course is committed in conserving water as part of helping the environment. Upgrading into Integrated Control (IC) System from Rain Bird made a great impact by means of planning and controlling the use of water. Adopting this new technology is a great step in achieving minimal consumption of water inside the golf course.
Mimosa Plus Golf also established Rainfall Monitoring System to effectively minimize in consuming water for irrigation. Rainbird system is designed to automatically react to rainfall and adjust sprinkler application rates to take full advantage of natural rain, thereby eliminating over-watering. The system also saves water and electricity, while keeping the course drier and more playable, by pausing, adjusting, or canceling irrigation in the event of rainfall.
Welcome to the Bug Hotel
Have you spotted these beautifully designed bug hotels at Mountainview and Acacia?
Introducing bug hotels inside the golf course helps to provide a safe and attractive habitat for beneficial insects and also helps to increase local insect populations. This sustainability project also aims to contribute in bringing balance to biodiversity.
The bug hotels were designed and made by the Mimosa Plus Golf staff employees. By involving them in this activity, they became more aware of the importance of biodiversity and that there is a fun way to get involved in protecting the beneficial bugs and insects in this planet we live in.
Expanding landscapes: Adding beauty and habitats
The two 18-hole golf courses (Mountainview and Acacia) have expanded its landscapes by means of converting the unplayable areas into red cogon (Pennisetum). During the renovation that started in 2016, huge areas of rough has been scraped and planted with this new grass. Red cogon requires less maintenance compared to other grass species that requires mowing and trimming from time to time, which also translates to a reduction on carbon emission.
