In the past, golf courses were portrayed as having a negative impact on the environment. Fortunately, a good deal of time, effort, and scientific research have been spent to debunk this myth. Given the abundance of flora and fauna, it certainly would be challenging for anyone who frequented Laurel Creek to believe this fallacy.
In contrast to what we see today, prior to the construction of the golf course, much of the property was being mined for clay and gravel, and had a post-apocalyptic appearance:
Following a recent site visit by an Audubon International staff member, we received our recertification as an Audubon International Certified Cooperative Sanctuary. Laurel Creek has maintained this status since 2002--additional evidence that golf and environmental stewardship can coexist.
