Why this, why now?

Despite occupying over 150,000 hectares, most Australian golf clubs lack the tools, expertise, and time to track or communicate environmental performance. There’s no nationally tailored, low-barrier platform to document and improve:

• Biodiversity and habitat quality

• Vegetation structure and resilience

• Public and stakeholder perception

• Compliance with sustainability and biodiversity goals

Golf Fore Nature meets this need. It provides easy, automated environmental tracking, citizen science integration, and compelling data-driven storytelling — all tailored to the unique challenges and strengths of golf clubs.

Our mission is simple:

To help golf clubs protect their course and prove their impact — in a way that’s built for their needs.

Community Engagement

While primarily designed to serve clubs, the platform will also include a public-facing storytelling component that will support:

• Biodiversity stories that highlight habitat and species success

• Stakeholder communication to meet compliance and transparency goals

• Planting opportunities via verified community action

• Environmental education and public trust in golf’s sustainability efforts

• Citizen science participation, including:

  • Community BioBlitz events

    1. Species observations via the Golf Fore Nature iNaturalist project

    2. Access to data for schools and community groups
