You may have noticed the appearance of the lake bank edges throughout the golf course. We are allowing the edges to grow for a few reasons. As some of you may know, Toll Golf currently has a few Audubon international sanctioned clubs in various locations. Here at Jupiter CC we are in the early stages of Audubon and are trying to do our part in keeping the golf course nice while still being mindful of the natural habitats that surround us.
By allowing the lake edges to grow it allows for erosion control, potential habitat space, and best of all it provides a barrier between the lake and the golf course to prevent leaching of unwanted nutrients into the lake. Now, the team in GCM will keep a controlled edge on the lake banks with herbicides and the occasional trim to make sure things don't get out of control. With the laws changing in Florida and the potential for fertilizer restrictions, I believe we are headed in the right direction when it comes to being "Environmentally Friendly".
