The iconic golf course used to be known for having two 18-hole courses—the challenging Mountainview (a par-70) and the scenic Acacia Lakeview (a par-72). Today it owns another milestone as the first golf course in the Philippines to achieve GEO Certified® status.
GEO certification, awarded by the GEO Foundation for Sustainable Golf, this represents the highest standard in sustainable golf facility operations, with only 17 GEO Certified courses in Asia out of approximately 40 registered on the platform. This certification underscores a golf facility’s commitment to environmental stewardship, climate action, and community engagement.
“It’s important to remember that golf and the environment should coexist harmoniously,” stated Mimosa Plus Golf Course director Rory Young. “To become GEO Certified is like a gold medal for all the green champions who worked tirelessly to make sure the golf course is ahead when it comes to sustainable practices”.
This certification reflects the management’s dedication to long-term sustainability through initiatives such as selecting drought-resistant grasses like Zoysia Zeon and Trinity, propagating local plant nurseries, and employing a tree-tagging system to monitor tree health.
The course also utilizes the Rainbird IC system for precise water management.
On top of the Mimosa Plus significantly contributes to the local community by creating jobs, and supporting the Aeta community.
Mimosa Plus Golf Course is also dedicated to the stewardship of golf education in the country. By making golf accessible to everyone, Mimosa Plus encourages Filipinos to explore the sport and nurture emerging talents.
