Justin Timberlake opens first eco-friendly golf course in the US

Justin Timberlake is doing his bit for the environment and has opened the world’s first eco-friendly golf course in Memphis, Tennessee. This golf course was originally called the Woodstock Hills and this is where the singer learned to hit his first golf ball. When he heard that the place is up for auction, he decided to buy and develop it to become the greenest and most eco-friendly golf course in America. This heroic act of saving the cost the singer a whopping $16 million in total and was then renamed as Mirimichi Golf Course. It is the first golf course to receive the Audubon International’s Classic Sanctuary certification and features native landscaping, solar powered golf carts and special irrigation system to maximize the use of rain water. This course is also the first Platinum LEED certified green course in
the US.
