Sustainability in Golf - Finally Having its Moment

Sustainability in golf is finally having its moment, and honestly, it’s about time. Golf is a game played on some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world, so it only makes sense that we take care of them. The good news? The industry is actually stepping up.

A few years ago, talking about sustainability in golf felt like a niche conversation. Now, it’s becoming a priority. Major golf courses, brands, and players are all getting involved, and it’s not just for show—it actually makes sense. Here’s what’s happening:

1. Golf courses are going greener. The USGA found that well-managed courses actually benefit the environment—absorbing carbon, filtering rainwater, and supporting local wildlife. Basically, when done right, a golf course isn’t just a place to play; it’s a legit ecosystem.

2. Sustainability is good business. A study by Entegra shows that eco-friendly course management—things like smarter irrigation and energy-efficient tech—helps clubs save money. Less waste, lower costs, better golf. Everybody wins.

3. People actually care. According to research published in Sustainability, golfers (especially younger ones) are more likely to support brands and courses that take sustainability seriously. The takeaway? Being green isn’t just good for the planet—it’s good for business.

At MNML GOLF, we’ve been about this life from day one. No gimmicks, no greenwashing—just real efforts to make golf gear with less waste and better materials. It’s cool to see the rest of the industry moving in the same direction.

Golf is a game built to last, but only if we take care of the spaces that make it special. The future looks bright (and green), and we’re here for it.
