Uiryeong Eco-Friendly Golf Course, Spring Renovation

Golf Course Without Using Chemical Pesticides

Gyeongnam Uiryeong Eco-Friendly Golf Course conducted an environmental cleanup activity on the 20th to collect household waste and discarded materials along the riverside near the golf course in celebration of the spring season.

At the riverside section of the Namgang River from Mancheon-ri to Daesan-ri, a national river, 30 golf course employees participated and collected about 3 tons of various abandoned waste. Every year, they collect discarded plastic films, empty pesticide bottles, and various wastes left near the riverbanks flooded by typhoons and other natural events.

Uiryeong Eco-Friendly Golf Course is known for being a "golf course that does not use chemical pesticides." The golf course manages its course in an eco-friendly way, including manual weeding operations.

The eco-friendly golf course has won the Grand Prize in the Green Management category for two consecutive years at the Korea Green Energy Excellent Company Awards, sponsored by the Korea Environment Corporation and the Korea Energy Technology Evaluation Institute.

It was also selected as a golf course that does not use chemical pesticides by the Ministry of Environment in 2015 and 2016 consecutively.

A golf course official stated, "We manage the golf course in a clean way befitting the pristine Uiryeong," and added, "We plan to actively participate in improving the water quality of the Namgang River and environmental protection through continuous cleanup activities in the future."
