GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE

Hire a Landscape Designer for your Course to Improve its Playability and Desirability

Even though it’s recommended that you try your best not to judge a book by its cover, or a course by its facility landscaping, it’s impossible to overlook the value that the first impression of your course is going to make on players and whether or not they decide to return after their initial round.

The overwhelming majority of people that own golf facilities spend the bulk of their time and their budget on beautifying the actual course itself, and it’s easy to understand why. But when you shift some of that focus on to the beautification of your facility landscaping (your non-golf course areas), you’re going to see a big boost as far as new businesses concerned – and repeat business should go up as well.

The real estate industry understands the value of “curb appeal”, and because the golf industry is so competitive you need to make sure that your course is putting its best face forward as well.

By improving the landscape of your facilities (by taking advantage of the best landscape maintenance services available), you’re going to be turning your golf facility into something really special, something that stands head and shoulders above the competition, and the kind of “must visit” golf attraction that stands every chance of succeeding here in South Carolina.

Choosing the right facility landscaping service provides for effortless results on your end

Of course, the best facility landscaping results are only going to be possible by choosing to move forward with the best commercial landscaping experts and landscape services that understand EXACTLY how valuable these results really are.

A lot more goes into dressing up the facility than just cleaning up the lawn in front of the clubhouse and sweeping the parking lots. You need to put a lot of effort into building the kind of first impression that you want your players, your members, and your guests to have, and you want this impression to be as beneficial to your bottom line as possible.

We are happy to partner up with your golf facility

When you choose to take advantage of our facility landscaping services, you are going to be able to dramatically improve not only the look of your course but also its potential to lure away players from other facilities that do not have the same kind of focus.

If you would like to learn a little bit more about how we can help you when it comes to landscape maintenance services, commercial landscaping, and really dressing up your facility, just contact us at your earliest convenience.

Bunkers (and Other “Traps”) Play an Important Role on All Golf Courses

There isn’t a single golfer on the planet that relishes the idea of trying to hit a “fried egg” out of a bunker.

At the same time, there is a reason (hundreds of reasons, probably) why golf course architects include bunkers and other traps on almost every course on the planet – to challenge players, to force them to think about each shot, and to really test their skills and abilities.

Bunkers are anything but an unnecessary detail on a golf course, and that’s why you’re going to want to make sure that your golf bunker maintenance is at the top of its game.

You won’t be able to find a single course architect or designer on the planet that doesn’t absolutely love throwing a couple of “pots of sand” around the green – usually right in the line of your ideal approach shot. There’s just something about challenging players in ways that both frustrate on misses and elate on pure shots that these ladies and gentlemen are crazy about.

But as much as these professionals enjoy designing bunkers, they are just as frustrated at the lack of proper golf bunker maintenance. Many feel like this is a forgotten aspect of proper course management, and a big reason why so many players despise landing in a trap in the first place.

Bunkers aren’t (and shouldn’t be considered) “waste areas”

Though there is a temptation to consider bunkers waste areas, nothing could be further from the truth in 99.99% of all circumstances.

Sure, if you’re running a “natural” course like Pinehurst this may be the case (and grounding the club in the sand wouldn’t be an issue), but most bunkers are designed as critical components of the course and should be treated as such.

It’s important to develop a regular golf bunker maintenance plan

This is why you need to be sure that your golf mucker maintenance plans are optimized for your course – and that they are followed out to the letter as well.

You may not have to tend to your bunkers quite as often as you tend to your greens or the fairway, but you are going to want to make sure that the sand traps are getting a lot more love than they otherwise may.

Fairway Maintenance Isn’t as Simple as it Might Seem on the Surface

There is a reason why most golfers will wish other players well by telling them to “hit it down the middle”.

Great golfers are able to hit more fairways than poor players, and you’re going to need to make sure that you reward great shots at your course with the best golf course fairway maintenance plans that you can draw up.

Approach shots are going to be completely dictated by the kind of lie people can expect from your fairways, and unless you want to really frustrate all of your players (more than the course architecture was designed to), you’re going to need your fairway maintenance to be picture-perfect.

You aren’t going to score well unless you hit more fairways

It’s going to be absolutely impossible for any type of golfer to score well at your course unless you make it easy for them to hit more fairways and reach the green in regulation.

This means that your fairways need to be dressed properly, they need to be cut appropriately, and they need to be maintained consistently. Players should be able to depend on your fairways playing the same across the course, regardless of whether or not they are spending most of their time in exposed to sunlight or living in the shade of strategically placed trees.

At the same time, golf course fairway maintenance is nowhere near as simple or as straightforward as it may seem on the surface.

A lot goes into the growing of lush fairways, and a lot more goes into cutting those fairways perfectly, repairing divots and “burn marks”, and clearly delineating between the fairway, the rough, and OB.

You need to trust a good golf course fairway maintenance team to get the job done right the first time around

For these reasons (and so many more) you’re going to want to find the best fairway maintenance team and specialists you can to get your course up to top playing condition.

You might not be all that interested in creating the same kind of fairways that they feature at Augusta (and may instead be looking for something a lot closer to the “new” Pinehurst), but your fairways are going to dictate everything from pace of play to the average score – and everything in between!

Irrigation Systems Keep your Golf Course Green All Year Round

A lot of people (outside of the golf industry) are under the impression that the beautiful lush and green courses that golfers play are somehow possible strictly because of the type of grass that is planted and mowed on the course – but that’s only a small part of what keeps of these courses looking gorgeous all year round.

Truth be told, irrigation systems (and golf course irrigation system maintenance) are usually the real secret behind courses that look fantastic even in the middle of the hottest summer heat and those that look dry, burnt, and almost unplayable.

Pretty much every major golf course in South Carolina takes advantage of golf course sprinklers and golf course irrigation systems, and it’s easy to understand why.

For starters, even though South Carolina gets a fair amount of rain all year round to keep things looking green, it’s impossible to predict when Mother Nature is going to deliver her next payload of precious water – and this kind of uncertainty just isn’t conducive to running a smart golf business.

On top of that, with an irrigation system (and a sprinkler system maintenance team taking care of things) you are going to have complete and total control over the amount of water and the timing of each watering.

This gives you a lot more flexibility when it comes to maintaining everything that your course has to offer.

You need to tailor your irrigation system to your course for best results

For obvious reasons you’re going to want to make sure that you tailor your irrigation system to your golf course. There is no such thing as a one size fits all approach to golf course sprinklers or their maintenance and repair process, which is why you need to make sure that you’re working with the best professionals in the business to help you get the most out of this technology.

Investing in Landscaping is Always Going to Pay Off

If you want to learn about the lengths that a course like Augusta National is willing to go to keep their course looking absolutely incredible (especially leading up to the Masters), check out any of the resources online that speak specifically about the golf course landscaping efforts that they put into play.

We are talking about some pretty outrageous efforts to make sure that The Masters remain the premier golf event of the year, including rolling out mobile “sun lights” during the night so that the greens have every chance to repair themselves between tournament days.

Part of the allure of the sport of golf is being able to spend time in some of the most beautiful outdoor spaces on the planet

Investing in your golf course landscaping isn’t only going to pay off when it comes to the playing surface is that your golfers are going to enjoy, but it’s also going to add a tremendous amount of value to the local community and the real estate market.

Prepping your golf course for any season comes down to smart golf course landscaping and maintenance

Finding the Right Tree Management Service

The sound that every golfer loves to hear when they take a swing at a golf ball is the sound of a pure strike. There is just something almost majestic of about really flushing a ball off the tee or off the deck, and it’s a lot better than the alternative – sculling a ball or bleeding a wage.

There’s also a sound that every golfer absolutely despises after they take a swing at a ball, and that’s the sound of the ball striking a tree (or several trees). It means that you weren’t able to hit the ball clean, it means that you weren’t able to land in the fairway or on the green, and it almost always means that you’re going to be adding a couple of extra strokes to your card.

Of course, there’s a reason why trees are on golf courses in the first place (and it’s not just to “break up the action”). You’ll want to bring the best golf course tree management to your course though to make sure that you’re maximizing the potential of each and every natural element on the grounds.

It’s going to be essential that you find the right golf course tree management service to assist you in not only selecting the right trees for your course, but also helping you strategically placed those trees and then make sure that they stay as happy and healthy for as long as humanly possible.

This can be a bit of a challenge.

There’s real value in choosing the right trees and placing them strategically on your course

It’s difficult because you have to understand that there are a lot of different tree varietals to pick and choose from, each of which are going to acclimate to the South Carolina climate and soil differently than one another.

On top of that, your specific golf course architecture is going to dictate and determine which kinds of trees you should plant and where – which is why you’ll want to have the help of the best golf course tree management professionals at your side every step of the way.

Your Course Will Live and Die on the Quality and Designs of Your Greens

Even though golfers are going to take in the beautiful views and architecture that your course features (and they are definitely going to notice all of the traps that they need to avoid), the overwhelming majority of golfers – newbies and experienced golfers alike – are going to decide whether or not they love or despise your course based almost entirely off of the quality of your greens.

Remember, many of these golfers are only going to hit a driver off of the tee boxes once per hole, but they are going to be spending A LOT of time on the greens!

You need to make sure that your golf green maintenance procedures and systems are at the top of their game, and we will be able to help.

As we touched upon above, the bulk of the experience on your golf course is going to occur on your greens.

This means that they need to be in picture-perfect shape, but it also means that they need to be regularly maintained to keep a consistent playing field on each of the holes that your golf course features.

The Entire Game Starts at the Tee Boxes

While most professional golfers (and just about every scratch golfer as well) would tell you that the game of golf begins way before you pull into the country club parking lot or step up to that first tee, and that it instead begins in your mind, the actual physical act of golf is ALWAYS going to start at the tee box.

You need to make sure that you knock it out of the park when it comes to golf tee box maintenance. This is where each player is going to begin their attack at each pin, and the quality of the tee box and the tee box area is going to dictate how well they are able to do exactly that. This is not something that you cannot afford to take lightly.

Because each and every single hole of golf is going to begin at the tee box, the area needs to be in as perfect a condition as possible.

Different players are going to have different ways to attack each pin; some are going to tee off with a driver and hope to really crush it, while others may choose to go with an iron or a hybrid “off the deck” or on a stubby to lay up short and then flop a wedge up tight.

Critical things you have to focus on to maximize your golf tee box maintenance

This is why the entirety box area needs to be in top condition, with all divots repaired, with all grass perfectly maintained, and with all loose tees picked up, removed, or placed in storage areas for those that want to fire off of stubbies.

The right golf tee box maintenance plan isn’t necessarily going to be as simple or as straightforward as just keeping the area mowed properly and free of debris. All players need to be accommodated, and that’s why you’ll want to come up with the right strategy and action plan to accomplish top level results.
