TPC Piper Glen an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary

Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary - Tournament Players Club Piper Glen

Did you know that the TPC Piper Glen Golf Course was the first golf course in the Carolina's awarded this prestigious designation?

The Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program is an award winning education and certification program that helps golf courses protect our environment and preserve the natural heritage of the game of golf. 

Every day more than 100 golfers will pass this sign 

few even notice the two eagles in the distance.

By helping people enhance the valuable natural areas and wildlife habitats that golf courses provide, improve efficiency, and minimize potentially harmful impacts of golf course operations, the program serves an important environmental role worldwide. 

What is the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf? 

Through collaborative efforts begun in 1991 with the United States Golf Association, membership in the ACSP has steadily grown to now include approximately 2,000 golf courses in the United States and three dozen countries worldwide. 

Audubon International provides information and guidance to help golf course personnel with six key environmental components: 

• Site Assessment/Environmental Planning 

• Wildlife and Habitat Management 

• Chemical Use Reduction and Safety 

• Water Conservation 

• Water Quality Management 

• Outreach and Education 

We are proud of TPC Piper Glen's Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Designation and the course staff's relentless efforts to maintain the property as a resource for the game of golf and as stewards of the priceless natural habitat that the Piper Glen golf course occupies.
