In 2017, GCSAA engaged in an initiative to establish golf course best management practices (BMPs) in all 50 states by the end of 2020. As of Dec. 31, 2020, each of the 50 states had established state specific BMPs featuring agronomic practices that support environmental stewardship. in 2024, Ontario published the first BMPs for Canadian provinces.
GCSAA’s BMP Planning Guide and Template is an online resource that provides for the development of facility BMPs. Learn more.
