United Water /Rahway works under the direction of E J Flynn has taken and will analyze the water within the pond at Hyatt Hills Complex.  This cooperative support will further help maintain the best water quality on the property.  The test results will be shared with Audubon International.  Hyatt Hills is currently going through the process of being certified as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program (ACSP).  Achievement in the area of Water Management is one of the six steps in the process of being certified.

Audubon International has been the leading environmental organization to provide comprehensive environmental education and conservation assistance to golf course superintendents and industry professionals. Through collaborative efforts begun in 1991 with the United States Golf Association (USGA), membership in the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses has steadily grown to include more than 2,300 courses in all fifty states, Canada, and increasingly, around the world.

The ACSP for Golf Courses seeks to address golf’s environmental concerns while maximizing golf course opportunities to provide open space benefits.  This highly-regarded education and assistance program promotes participation in comprehensive environmental management, enhancement and protection of existing wildlife habitats, and recognition for those who are engaged in environmentally-responsible projects. 

The following golf courses in New Jersey are certified:

Ballyowen Golf Course, Sparta, Baltusrol Golf Club, Springfield, Blue Heron Pines Golf Club, Cologne, Brick Township Municipal Utilities Authority, Brick, Brigantine Golf Links, Brigantine, Brooklake Country Club, Florham Park; Echo Lake Country Club, Westfield; Edgewood Country Club, Riverdale; Fiddler's Elbow Country Club, Far Hills; Harbor Pines Golf Club, Egg Harbor Township; Hidden Creek Golf Club, Egg Harbor Township; Laurel Creek Country Club, Mt.
