2013 Golf Digest Green Star Award

The Bear Trace at Harrison Bay was recently honored with the 2013 Golf Digest Green Star Award for Outstanding Environmental Practices.  Over the years we have been blessed to have received several awards for our environmental stewardship programs and projects but this one is extremely special as this is the first year public golf courses across the nation were judged.  To be included in the same category as previous Green Star Award winners Pebble Beach, Bandon Dunes, and Barton Creek Resort and Spa is truly special.

Our environmental projects have been on-going for many years and have involved many individuals that may not always get the recognition that they deserve.  An award such as this is not possible without support and hard work from many people and I would like to take this time to thank each of them.  From the great golf course maintenance staff to the clubhouse staff to our management team in Nashville it is truly a team effort and this award is a tribute to every one's hard work and dedication.

We are very grateful to the fine folks at Golf Digest for the 2013 Green Star Award and for their outstanding award article,  The Eagles Have Landed.
