We help golf clubs plan, protect & improve their landscapes through practical environmental strategy, vegetation management, biodiversity planning & on-ground support.
About.
Golf has a unique relationship with the natural environment. Every course sits within a broader landscape, and with that comes an opportunity — and a responsibility — to manage it thoughtfully for the benefit of the game, the land and future generations.
Founded in 2013 by Kate Torgersen, Environmental Golf Solutions was built on a deep understanding of both golf course operations and the landscapes that surround them. Kate’s vision was to help clubs make practical, informed environmental decisions that support course function, long-term playability and stronger ecological outcomes.
Today, Environmental Golf Solutions works with golf clubs, architects and industry partners to deliver tailored advice across vegetation management, biodiversity planning, environmental strategy, on-course project support and stakeholder communication.
