 Stone Creek Golf Club wins 2012 U.S. eco-friendly golf course award
Stone Creek Golf Club, a Peter Jacobsen/Jim Hardy-designed golf course south of Oregon City, received honors for its U.S. eco-friendliness. It was singled out by Links magazine as number six in the country.
The 18-hole public golf course, owned by Clackamas County and first opened in 2002, was constructed with wildlife corridors to minimize the disturbance of nature. Stone Creek has an integrated pest management program that uses pesticides sparingly and irrigates only the in-play areas, allowing other areas to go fallow in the summer and provides habitat for ground-nesting birds. Lakes on the course are 100-percent buffered and the water is tested annually for pesticides and fertilizers.
