Setting the pace, in more ways than one.
In the early 1990’s, a growing interest in conservation and the environment prompted the Links to join Audubon International’s Cooperative Wildlife Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses.
The Village Links became the first public course in the world and the seventh golf course overall to become fully certified as a Wildlife Sanctuary.
Involvement in this program helped The Village Links to diversify its landscaping and management plans, adding greatly to the beauty of the course.
In the 1990’s, the Village Links and Golf Course Superintendent Tim Kelly and his staff were recognized with a number of national and regional awards for environmental excellence.
In 1979, the Village Links developed a program called KEEP PACE, encouraging golfers to keep up with the group ahead of them.
Village Links golfers embraced the new program and made the Links the fastest playing course in the United States. KEEP PACE became the most successful pace of play program ever devised and is used in some form at thousands of golf courses nationwide
