A collaboration between Auckland Golf and Auckland Council with support from Department of Conservation, North Golf and other organisations, Golf is Green embarked on a mission to support Tāmaki Makaurau golf clubs in their environmental journeys. The focus of the project is on improving the environmental outcomes across 2,000 hectares of green space in both the city and on islands.  

The project aims to help clubs manage their operations in a sustainable way. This includes reducing pests, boosting native plant and animal life, and improving water management on their land. Clubs will also be supported in tracking and reporting their sustainability efforts, and in sharing these efforts with their members and the community. The project will connect clubs with experts who can offer advice, resources, and funding. It will build a network of clubs that support and celebrate each other’s conservation work and create opportunities for club members and the wider golf community to get involved in sustainability initiatives. 

Auckland Golf was a finalist in the inaugural Environmental Sustainability Award at the NZ Sport and Recreation Awards 2024.
