Greate Bay Country Club
The Greate Bay Country Club golf course in Somers Point has achieved status as a “Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary” through the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for golf courses, an Audubon International program.
Kenneth Thomspon, Greate Bay’s course superintendent, has led the six-year effort to obtain sanctuary status on this course and is being recognized for Environmental Stewardship by Audubon International. Greate Bay Country Club is only the 27th course in New Jersey and the 794th in the world to receive the honor — an honor designated to just two percent of the golf courses in the world
“All of the members, management and staff are extremely proud of our designation as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary,” said Greate Bay C.C. president Mark Benevento in a release to the media. “It’s gratifying to see the programs that we have implemented with Audubon International’s support and guidance begin to make many positive impacts on the course and to the environment.”
