How Golfers Can Be More Sustainable
At Wild Golf, we believe that playing your best game shouldn't come at the expense of the environment. Here are some ways golfers can lead the green revolution on and off the course:

- Other sustainable golf tips include:
- Ditch Plastic Tees and use bio degradable timber ones. Many golf course are situated in or near water ways and we all know the consequences of plastic pollution ended up here. Eliminate this by opting for wooden tees.
- Reduce Waste:: Avoid those takeaway sandwiches, sausage rolls and energy bars that come wrapped in plastic, how may times have these wrappers end up blowing off your cart and lost on the course? Use reusable water bottles and avoid single-use plastics entirely on the course.
- Respect Nature: Follow course rules that protect wildlife and natural habitats.
- Carpool or Walk: Reduce your carbon footprint by carpooling with fellow golfers or walking the course instead of using a cart.
Golf vs. Other Sports: A Sustainability Comparison
While many sports are catching on to the importance of sustainability, golf has a distinct edge. Unlike stadium-based sports, golf courses often serve as green spaces that contribute to local ecosystems. However, the flip side is that maintaining these courses can be resource-intensive. Compared to sports like tennis or basketball, golf has more room to improve in terms of sustainability due to its larger environmental footprint.
