The drive up over the hills of Lausanne is winding. The charming, bright yellow clubhouse sits slightly hidden behind ancient trees. The terrace offers a view of the golf course, which could also pass for a park. Tranquillity and consistency are the hallmarks of this course, whose club was founded in 1921 and has made a name for itself over the decades in terms of its sporting aspects and as a social meeting place. The GC de Lausanne is one of the classics in Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p><strong> &#8220;Doing things you&#8217;ve never done before&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The tranquil idyll has been shaken up because external conditions have changed. As a tenant of a municipal property, the facility is definitely in the public eye. &#8220;We have to coordinate a lot of things with the city of Lausanne,&#8221; explains <strong>Etienne Marclay<\/strong>, treasurer on the club&#8217;s board of directors and a member of the Swiss Golf executive committee responsible for sustainability. With increasing environmental awareness, traditional clubs in particular are facing the challenge of adapting their management. &#8220;In 1986, we explained to our members that we had to change. Most of them understood,&#8221; recalls <strong>General Manager Pierre Rindlisbacher<\/strong>.<br \/>\nDue to climate change, the pressure on the greenkeeping team is growing. &#8220;It&#8217;s crazy. You constantly have to be prepared to do something you&#8217;ve never done before,&#8221; says <strong>Head greenkeeper Laurent Liatard<\/strong>. The fact that summer greens can sometimes be played during the winter season is just one example of the effects of changing climate conditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong> GEO certification since 2018 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The long-term environmental focus is important to the club, as documented by<strong> GEO certification<\/strong>, which Golf Club de Lausanne was one of the first courses in Switzerland to receive in 2018. In terms of content, the club&#8217;s sustainability strategy is primarily characterized by four areas: Trees, biodiversity, changing grass types and water.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m1ffapnc-36097b5c2e2d2fba03ecfc7b4d0da545\">\n.avia-image-container.av-m1ffapnc-36097b5c2e2d2fba03ecfc7b4d0da545 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-m1ffapnc-36097b5c2e2d2fba03ecfc7b4d0da545 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-m1ffapnc-36097b5c2e2d2fba03ecfc7b4d0da545 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  av-has-copyright av-copyright-always'  ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-27876 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-27876 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DSC_0061-300x199.jpg\" alt='Trees at GC Lausanne' title='Trees_GC Lausanne'  height=\"199\" width=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DSC_0061-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DSC_0061-1030x684.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DSC_0061-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DSC_0061-scaled.jpg 1391w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DSC_0061-1500x996.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DSC_0061-705x468.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><small class=\"avia-copyright\">The GC de Lausanne works with a tree management plan (images GC de Lausanne)<\/small><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m0apousd-774b5902ec5b0d0c8d1f8bef1233bf6d '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p>With a <strong>ten-year plan for tree management<\/strong>, the club is tackling the difficulties posed by almost 1600 individual trees. Of these, 703 alone are conifers, which often suffer from disease. &#8220;In consultation with the city, we have removed numerous trees in order to reduce the water supply to the course, mowing problems caused by roots and the shading of the greens,&#8221; says Marclay, summing up the concept. It is rounded off by planting new young trees where necessary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Switching to new grass varieties<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This also improves the conditions for Head Greenkeeper Liatard to successfully implement the grass conversion on the greens, the end goal of which is to phase out the use of pesticides by 2030. &#8220;We&#8217;ve gone from 100 percent Poa Annua to less than 20 percent,&#8221; he notes with satisfaction. In 2014, the company delved deeper into the area of grass management with an external consultancy. &#8220;We knew that we would have fewer and fewer pesticides available in the future,&#8221; he says, explaining the motivation for the change. Healthy greens that are less dependent on water and fertilizer are in demand. The issue of water in particular has been a major concern for the golf club for years. The partial use of drinking water for irrigation is not a sustainable model. As the club management has recognised, it is too expensive and not justifiable in society in the long term. Irrigation volumes have long since been significantly reduced and the club is now working with the City of Lausanne on a water management system that emphasizes the role of the club as part of a sponge city concept and aims to make the golf course water self-sufficient in the long term.<\/p>\n<div hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/golf-course-design-2-0\/\" class='avia-iframe-wrap'>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"SGX1PETwNj\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/golf-course-design-2-0\/\">Golf course design 2.0: Ready for climate change<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Golf course design 2.0: Ready for climate change&#8221; &#8212; Golf Sustainable\" src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/golf-course-design-2-0\/embed\/#?secret=s1HNkLv1vj#?secret=SGX1PETwNj\" data-secret=\"SGX1PETwNj\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Collaborations such as those with the City of Lausanne or nature conservation associations play an important role for the GC de Lausanne. The various biodiversity projects on the course, supported by the club&#8217;s own working group, are often developed together with environmental associations such as Pro Natura. In this way, the golf course has developed a new face. One of the many new rough areas has been created directly in view of the first tee. The external appearance of the course, which used to be completely mowed short, has changed dramatically. Flowering meadows and biotopes have been created, orchards have been planted and deadwood areas have been created.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m1uk7jen-704362a21cf7ea848e4660f1c2fe9252\">\n.avia-image-container.av-m1uk7jen-704362a21cf7ea848e4660f1c2fe9252 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-m1uk7jen-704362a21cf7ea848e4660f1c2fe9252 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-m1uk7jen-704362a21cf7ea848e4660f1c2fe9252 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  av-has-copyright av-copyright-always'  ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-27881 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-27881 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/go19-lau-ag-01-0137-300x200.jpg\" alt='Meadow at GC de Lausanne' title='GC de Lausanne'  height=\"200\" width=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/go19-lau-ag-01-0137-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/go19-lau-ag-01-0137-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/go19-lau-ag-01-0137-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/go19-lau-ag-01-0137-scaled.jpg 1386w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/go19-lau-ag-01-0137-705x470.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><small class=\"avia-copyright\">Many areas have been transformed to meadows for more biodiversity <\/small><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m1uk8mzs-0a261969d67b6497f66ccaf4070eceb4 '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p>&#8220;Because we made the changes slowly, the members gradually got used to them,&#8221; says Rindlisbacher. Nevertheless, it has always been a balancing act between realignment and retaining old values. Particularly in the area of greens, the transformation has also caused discontent in the short term. &#8220;The changeover takes time. Sometimes the greens didn&#8217;t look perfect. You have to bear that in mind when communicating.&#8221; In the meantime, the dust has settled.
