In association with the GEO Foundation for Sustainable Golf, whose objective is to accelerate sustainable development in the golf sector, the jury congratulated the golf resort in Spain for the work it has done and continues to do to accomplish in favor of nature. The estate's development of its large aquatic ecosystem, which hosts a number of insects, invertebrates and a rich multitude of species that had declined throughout the territory, was particularly highlighted as an exemplary achievement. .

« Golf is often unfairly demonized in terms of the environment and sustainability”said Chris Bertram, editor of Golf World & Today's Golfer's Top 100 Courses & Resorts, who led the panel. " With this new list of the most "Green" golf courses in Europe, we wanted to demonstrate that golf is a sport with an ecological conscience and show the ingenious means implemented by clubs such as Camiral Golf & Wellness to make a difference"

« With the help of the GEO Foundation, we wanted to reward those who put nature at the center of their golf operations and cultivate the land that provides the perfect landscape for their courses. Camiral's significant aquatic ecosystem does just that, making this Spanish resort a worthy candidate for our highly competitive inaugural rankings”.
