The No-Mow Experiment

Reducing Manicured Acres

If you’ve followed our website or blog you’ll have noticed our GreenGolf Iniative.  This is a 3-pronged approach aimed at reducing our environmental footprint,  improving the quality and playability of the golf course, and reducing our chemical and labor costs.

Here is an article that the USGA published on a similar experiment.  We only have 56 acres here at Grinnell College Golf Course, but we are still attempting to reduce the manicured acres by 18% (10 acres).
