Environmental Management

We recognize that the natural environment provides space for the game of golf and preservation of this integration relies upon the Golf Course playing its role as responsible caretakers of the natural environment. The Golf Course is committed to operating all facilities in a sustainable manner geared towards preservation of the environment. With this approach KSC is internationally recognized as a leader in environmental stewardship.

Transformation of the Island

Prior to golf, Kau Sai Chau had been the site of an artillery practice range between 1930 and mid 1975. This activity combined with frequent hill fires stripped the surface soil and vegetation creating a barren environment. With the development of golf, the damages from soil erosion and hill fires has been reversed transforming the ecology of the island. Check out our Ecological Monitoring page to learn more about this transformation.
