Strong Membership Growth Continues in 2023

AudubonInternational is in a membership enrollment growth spurt these days, and it shows no signs of slowing.

From April 28 to July 28, eleven golf clubs from every corner of the United States, as well as one club in Bogota, Colombia, enrolled in the ACSP for Golf Certification program. In the U.S., there are six new members from California and one each from Alabama, Colorado, Hawaii, Missouri and South Carolina.

Amelia Island, Florida, is home to all five new Green Lodging Certification program enrollees. They range from a Comfort Suites to Ritz-Carlton, highlighting the Green Lodging program’s suitability for lodging partners of all sizes and price points.

“We continue to celebrate our 35th anniversary as a leader in implementing, teaching and championing sustainability practices for outdoor spaces including golf courses and indoor spaces such as hotels and corporate buildings,” says Christine Kane, CEO of Audubon International. “We continue to welcome a steady stream of new enrollees in all of our certification programs, and we invite all operators to join us in planning and implementing a more sustainable future for their businesses, and the planet.”

Several more new members came on board in August and September, as well, mostly in the ACSP for Golf category. Two Canadian courses — Country Club Montreal and Burlington Golf & Country Club — joined the fold, while Nemacolin Resort in southwest Pennsylvania highlighted the new American sign-ups with their “bundle” application for several levels of certification.
