What is the Golf Course Environmental Profile?

In 2006, the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) conducted the first in a series of five surveys to determine the physical features of golf courses, maintenance practices used by superintendents, and inputs and outputs associated with golf course management.

The goal of the research is to develop an environmental profile of golf courses. By mid-2009, GCSAA had conducted all five surveys, with the results of the final two studies scheduled for release in 2010.
