The main machines required for golf course construction are excavators, posi tracks, and tipper trucks. Excavators are useful for a range of applications including building concrete house slabs, retaining wall footings, foundations, pond and creek construction, drainage installation, and driveway construction in golf course construction. Posi tracks are specialised machines for civil excavation in open area earthworks and are the lower cost option to bulkier excavators. Tipper trucks are powerful machines used for bulk earthmoving for golf course construction.
Golf Spectrum has the above machines available for wet hire. Our plant hire includes 8-tonne excavator hire, 14-tonne excavator hire, 20-tonne excavator hire, tipper hire, tag float hire, posi track hire, and 3 and 5-foot levelling scoops.
Golf course maintenance requires a series of steps to preserve the original vision of the golf course whilst ensuring the landscape creates good fair play. Firstly, maintenance should be specific to limit disruption of golf play by creating a schedule for maintenance staff to follow. Secondly, sustainability is important as a lot of water, fertiliser and electricity is used to grow the green turf. Underground drains and pipeline can be used to collect rainwater for irrigation. Renewable energy like solar panels can also be implemented for additional cost savings. Thirdly, the removal of ball marks is essential for smooth golf play. The ball marks are tiny craters in the turf produced when the golf balls fall from a hit. The ball marks impact future putts and damage the turf. Finally, golf players are usually satisfied by the firmness, slope and speed of the golf course. Therefore, the turf should be maintained to be firm and fast with good drainage and irrigation systems, along with waterproof accessories.
Golf Spectrum offers golf course maintenance services to improve and meet standards for small and large golf courses.
