The Key To Effective Golf Course Irrigation

By Pamela Young


If there is one thing that characterizes a golf course it must be the lush green lawn that covers the entire playing field. This requires careful design and regular maintenance. After all, nobody wants to play a game on a brown, sun-burned patch of grass. This makes golf course irrigation the most important aspect of lawn maintenance. The key to efficient irrigation of commercial lawns is proper design of the water supply system.

In addition to providing grass with water, which is used to make food, irrigation also helps to cool the sod and grass after a long day of intense sunlight. In many establishments, the fields are normally watered at night or early in the morning. Basically, it can be done whenever the fields are vacant with nobody playing the holes.

An elaborate plumbing system is needed to ensure that every part of the expansive lawn gets sufficient water. Ideally, there should be water points in multiple places to ensure that medium-length hoses will be able to supply water to sprinklers in the field. Another great option is to install an automatic irrigation system with sprinklers that come up when the sun goes down.

It takes a lot of time, effort and special knowledge to design and install an efficient automatic sprinkler system. Furthermore, installation requires a lot of experience. After all, mistakes cannot be tolerated in such a costly project. That said, the right firm should have a lot of experience installing automatic sprinkler systems in parks and large commercial lawns.

Maintenance of the sprinkler system is also crucial. If there is a breakdown, prompt repairs must be carried out to ensure that every single section of the course is properly watered. Since some parts usually wear out fast, there is need for regular replacement of parts, particularly the mouths of the sprinklers.

There are many factors that investors and managers should consider when looking for a company to design and construct the irrigation system. The most important, however, is experience. Ideally, only firms that have years of experience in the field should be hired. Before, this is done, their portfolio also needs to be checked.

The ideal construction company should have specialists who are certified to handle the project. Working with professionals who are specialists in their own fields is always a great idea as it will assure you of getting high quality services. After all, you do not want to pay top dollar for mediocre work.

Constructing a golf course is not a cheap undertaking; it costs a lot of money. However, this does not mean that you should be prepared to spend a huge a sum of cash just to get an efficient water sprinkler system. For this reason, it is important you compare the prices quoted by different firms to identify the right contractor.

Every contractor must be licensed to offer services to the public. For this reason, you need to do some background research to find out whether or not a particular firm is registered and licensed to offer the service you are seeking. If not, you should take your search elsewhere.
