While golf courses are typically some of the most efficient water users, more and more clubs are looking for ways to conserve even more. Taking a proactive approach to water conservation in the state of Nevada, The Legacy Golf Club in Las Vegas has unveiled plans to remove more than 50 acres of turf to further reduce water use. "We have planned to remove 54.33 acres of turf in out-of-play areas throughout the course," says Director of Golf Byron Cone. "These areas will be replaced with low water-use trees, shrubs and ground cover. The effective playing area to the golf course will not be reduced."

The plan is posted on the club's Web site at www.thelegacygc.com.

"We are excited to see the aesthetic improvement these newly landscaped areas will have on the playing corridors," Cone says.
