From May 20th to 26th, maintenance works will be carried out in the golf course to aerify the golf greens and the fringe zone.
It is a really important preventive maintenance which allows us to keep our golf course in top shape. Aeration loosens soil that has been compacted by golfers walking over it and machines rolling over it. However, the golf course aeration process goes beyond that. Air and water are thus infused into the ground at the root level, and space opened up for new root growth which created a healthier putting surface over time.
Aerification works will be carried out in holes 10 to 18 on Monday 20th and Tuesday 21st May. Aerification works will be carried out in holes 1 to 9 on Wednesday 22nd and Thursday 23rd. On Friday 24th May, the 18 holes will be back to normal and aerification works will be carried out in the Pitch&Putt area.
This process is an integral part of successful management to improve the quality of the golf course: it relieves soil compaction and helps the grass stay healthy, which provides a higher speed for the game throughout the year.
