A lush green and well-maintained lawn is a feast for the eyes for any golfer. Keeping a golf course in top shape requires a well-thought-out irrigation system. Modern systems ensure that the lawn is watered precisely and without wasting water.
Stationary irrigation systems for golf courses
Stationary systems are permanently installed and enable targeted irrigation of golf course surfaces. They can be programmed in fixed cycles or activated on demand.
Sprinkler systems
Sprinklers distribute water evenly across the lawn. The water is delivered to the individual nozzles via a distribution box and underground pipes. Sprinklers can be turned on or off as needed. Advantages:
- Uniform irrigation of large areas
- Easy programmability
- Cost-effective solution
Sprinklers can also be used to specifically water individual sections such as fairways, greens, or tees. Modern systems prevent water waste.
Subsurface irrigation
With subsurface irrigation, water is transported underground directly to the roots. A pipe system distributes the water throughout the soil. Valves regulate the water flow.
Advantages of subsurface irrigation:
- Very economical, as there is hardly any evaporation loss
- Reduces disease risks for the lawn
- Ideal for greens, tees and front greens
- Quiet operation without visible systems
Subsurface irrigation is particularly suitable for intensively used areas such as greens. Combined with sprinklers, it allows for precise watering of the golf course.
Mobile systems for golf course irrigation
Mobile systems can be used flexibly and are a useful complement to stationary irrigation systems.
Portable irrigation machines
Portable irrigation machines, also called traveling guns, can be moved around the field by tractor. They can irrigate large areas in a short time.
Advantages of portable sprinklers:
- Long ranges of up to 100 meters
- Flexible use
- Cost-effective solution for large-area irrigation
Mobile systems can also reach remote areas that are outside of fixed irrigation systems.
Conclusion: Optimal irrigation for every golf course
Modern irrigation systems are essential for keeping golf courses in top shape. Stationary systems such as sprinklers or subsurface irrigation enable on-demand watering without waste. Mobile systems are a useful complement to stationary systems.
A combination of stationary and mobile systems ensures that every area of the golf course is optimally supplied with water. This keeps the greens and fairways in top shape throughout the summer and provides ideal playing conditions.
