Forbes nombra Mirimichi uno de los más ecológicos de EE.UU.

Con la celebración del campeonato de la PGA («Asociación de jugadores de golf profesionales») comenzando el lunes en el Ocean Course de Carolina del Sur, Forbes ha querido repasar la lista de los cinco campos de golf más respetuosos con el medio ambiente en Estados Unidos. Uno de ellos, Mirimichi; propiedad de la estrella del pop Justin Timberlake. El campo es un par 72 a tan solo 15 minutos de Memphis, ciudad natal del cantante.

Mirimichi Championship Course, Millington, Tennessee

Playing a round here means taking in natural beauty—four waterfalls, meandering creeks and six lakes. Surrounding the green, turf grass has been converted to wild grassland and shelves planted with aquatic vegetation along the banks of the course’s streams and ponds protect water quality and provide easy access to the water for wildlife. In addition to collecting excess water, the course’s irrigation system filters pollutants from parking lots and cart paths. The sustainable approach earned the course Golf Environmental Organization certification—Mirimichi was one of the first 10 courses worldwide to receive the designation from the Scotland-based group.
