Eco-responsible management of the Opio-Valbonne Golf Course

Respect for the environment is at the heart of the concerns of all Resonance Golf Collection golf courses. The impact of phytosanitary products on wildlife and subsoils, the scarcity of water, and energy costs are taken into consideration on a daily basis in order to reconcile respect for the environment and sustainability.

Richard Mérieux, our superintendent, talks about the actions taken to address ecological issues at the Golf d'Opio-Valbonne

The Opio-Valbonne Golf Course has been widely committed for several years now to the ecological transition, each action carried out on the golf course is carefully considered to ensure respect for the natural resources and biodiversity that surrounds us.

Richard, our superintendent, focuses his work around three pillars which constitute the fundamentals of responsible maintenance:

  • Water management
  • Preserving biodiversity
  • Controlled use of products
Water management

Water management

 

At the Golf d’Opio Valbonne, responsible management of natural resources combines with the offering of a first-rate golf experience. At the heart of our sustainability ethos is our innovative water management system. We are committed to minimizing our water footprint while maintaining greens and fairways in optimal conditions. Through practices such as rainwater harvesting, efficient irrigation and the use of local drought-resistant plants, we aim to harmonize sport, nature and environmental responsibility.

Preserving biodiversity

Preserving biodiversity

 

The Golf d’Opio Valbonne does not just offer an exceptional golfing experience, it is resolutely committed to the preservation of biodiversity. Our eco-responsible approach aims to protect and enrich local biodiversity while creating a harmonious space for golf. We have implemented various ecological initiatives, such as the creation of refuge areas for local wildlife, the use of environmentally friendly plant protection products and the promotion of native plant species. Through these actions, we seek to create a balance between the enjoyment of the game and environmental responsibility, allowing nature and golf to thrive symbiotically.

Controlled use of products
