Landings Club gains certification for last two courses, The

Golf Course News, Dec 2002 by Overbeck, Andrew

SAVANNAH, Ga. - The Landings Club has received certification from the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary System for its Plantation and Palmetto courses. All four of the development's other courses, Marshwood, Magnolia, Oakridge and Deer Creek, have already been certified by Audubon International.

"We have achieved certification on all six of our courses in four years," said Allan Pulaski, director of golf and grounds maintenance. "We did two courses a year in 1999, 2000 and 2002. We took a year off to renovate the Magnolia course in 2001."

The first layout at the Landings Club opened in 1974 and course development continued until the sixth course opened 1991.

According to Pulaski, the hardest part of achieving certification was protecting the large amount of wildlife areas and dealing with both brackish and fresh water systems.

"It was challenging because of the broad diversity of the property and the abundance of wildlife and habitat that had to be documented." said Pulaski.
