Client Environmental Testimonials
“We couldn’t be happier with Cal Olson and his work with CasaBlanca Golf Club. As a desert course we have a water issue . . . Too Little and Too Much.
Flash floods are a problem as are drought conditions, Cal solved both issues superbly.”
“Building a golf course around 35 randomly placed and active above-ground pumping oil wells and pipelines was definitely an ecological challenge. Cal and his team which were masters. He planted 2,500 trees as aesthetic cover and created both irrigation and holding ponds for our steep terrain and 100 year rain forecasts – Incredible job!”
“Sierra Star Golf Course is located at 8,000 feet. The site had very little topsoil and all rock. In addition, our ‘Season’ is only 5 months long due to snow pack and runoff. Environmentally, this was a challenge. Cal and his team build a world-class resort course that is a wildlife oasis.”
