ASGCA ENVIRONMENTAL EXCELLENCE AWARDS Photo: Nathan Crace, ASGCA Location: Flowood, Mississippi Architect: Nathan Crace, ASGCA One element of the major remodeling of The Refuge was a comprehensive study of all trees along playing corridors. Invasive species, those that were dead or dying and others that posed a danger were removed. The remaining trees can now be healthier and live longer, and the work has also addressed turf and erosion issues and improved playability. Location: Addison, Illinois Architect: ASGCA Past President Greg Martin, ASGCA Planning, design and permitting was coordinated with 19 separate agencies during the transformation of this Illinois course that delivered a wealth of environmental benefits including reduced flood risk and improved water and habit quality.
