Mimosa Plus Golf Course has achieved GEO Certified® status, becoming the first course in the Philippines to earn this prestigious recognition.
GEO certification, awarded by the GEO Foundation for Sustainable Golf, represents the highest standard in sustainable golf facility operations, with only 17 GEO Certified courses in Asia out of approximately 40 registered on the platform. This certification underscores the commitment to environmental stewardship, climate action, and community engagement.
Nestled within the 201-hectare Filinvest Mimosa Plus Leisure City, features two 18-hole, par 72 courses and has been recognized for its sustainable practices.
“It’s important to remember that golf and the environment should coexist harmoniously,” stated Mimosa Plus Golf Course director Rory Young. “To become GEO Certified is like a gold medal for all the green champions who worked tirelessly to make sure the golf course is ahead when it comes to sustainable practices”.
This certification reflects the management’s dedication to long-term sustainability through initiatives such as selecting drought-resistant grasses like Zoysia Zeon and Trinity, propagating local plant nurseries, and employing a tree-tagging system to monitor tree health.
The course also utilizes the Rainbird IC system for precise water management.
Moreover, Mimosa Plus Golf Course actively collaborates with local communities on reforestation and sustainability programs.
“I was very impressed by how much the entire team is engaged and motivated towards their sustainability goals. Everybody is collaborating with new ideas for initiatives and a general desire to help the environment; all progress is communicated excellently through their custom designed web-based dashboard. It is easy to see that the entire company is committed to long-term sustainability and incorporates it into their entire ethos,” GEO Accredited Independent Verifier Brad Revill said.
Mimosa Plus significantly contributes to the local community by promoting tourism, creating jobs, and supporting the Aeta community, thereby enhancing Clark’s reputation as a premier golf destination and fostering economic growth.
As an inclusive golf course, Mimosa Plus is dedicated to promoting golf education and making the sport accessible to all Filipinos, encouraging the development of emerging talents.
