GOLF COURSES

​
  • Reduced business downtime
Fewer games and events will be cancelled or extensively delayed due to heavy rain. A well drained golf course prevents disruptions in play, with less damage to the course.​
  • Reduced compaction 
Drainage lessens the surface deformation caused by heavy traffic and soil compaction. ​​
  • Safer surfaces 
Good drainage reduces field damage and turf instability, providing players with better footing, reducing chance of injury. 
  • Reduction of moss growth
With less surface water creating the right conditions for moss growth, the need to blanket spray is reduced or completely eliminated.

Benefits of Quality Drainage

  • ​Healthier grass
​​ Good drainage promotes deeper root growth and the “knitting” effect of the roots, stabilising your playing surface and lessening the tearing of the turf. 
  • More effective use of soil nutrients 
A well drained golf course will improve the uptake of nitrogen, potassium and magnesium reducing incidences of plant problems such as discolouration or stunted growth. 
  • Reduced risk of disease 
Turf that does not continuously sit in damp soils will be more resistant to pathogenic fungi, moulds and other diseases. 
  • Reduced compaction 
Drainage lessens the surface deformation caused by heavy traffic and soil compaction. 
  • Reduced equipment wear and repairs
Sprinkler decoders and wiring often require repair after a flood, as do other existing systems connected to irrigation arrays.
  • Better health and safety records
​Fewer slips and trips for both customers and employees, reduction in pesticide use and better mobility for motorised buggys.
  • Specialist aggregates
​High strength lightweight aggregates can be used in draining work which is half the weight of gravel. This has the benefit of reducing the "striping" which appears in dry weather, as well as being a safer option when lawn mowing then gravel.
  • Removal of soluble salts 
Drainage improves turf quality in arid and semi-arid areas through the leaching of soluble salts. 
The bottom line for designers, owners and managers of courses is that proper drainage increases the uptime and quality of turf surfaces while reducing its maintenance, repair costs and lost man hours.
