Our Golf Course Construction Services
We offer a range of services to cover various aspects of course construction and remodelling.
Golf Course Construction
Our team works closely with Golf Clubs and Golf Course Architects to create a course that meets the highest standards of playability and aesthetics. The work we do includes:
- Construction of fairways, greens, and tees
- Remodelling of old greens and upgrading to USGA specification
- Strategic placement of bunkers, hazards, and water features
Golf Course Drainage
At Garry Flood Landscapes, we specialise in designing and installing advanced drainage systems for golf courses. Our techniques ensure fast water removal, improved turf health, and enhanced playability — even after heavy rainfall, increasing the number of playable days per year.
Whether you need to install a new drainage network or upgrade an existing system, we provide tailored solutions that work with your course’s natural contours and with your budget. We have all the latest machinery to carry out this work. All our machines are equipped with large flotation tyres to minimise course damage.
Our Golf Course Drainage Solutions
We offer a range of services to cover various aspects of course construction and renovation, including:
1
Primary Drainage Systems
Primary drainage forms the foundation of a well-drained course. A network of lateral drains connects to a main carrier pipe, directing water to an outfall such as a pond, ditch, or stormwater system.
2
Secondary Drainage Solutions
Secondary drainage enhances the performance of primary systems by improving surface water infiltration. We install Sand Slits which are narrow channels filled with sand to direct surface water into the primary drains.
Golf Course Maintenance
Regular maintenance is essential for keeping golf courses in top condition. Our comprehensive process combines advanced techniques to improve drainage, enhance turf health, and ensure consistent playability throughout the year.
1
Verti-Draining
Verti-draining is one of the most effective ways to relieve soil compaction and improve drainage. This process involves inserting small holes into the surface, allowing water, air, and nutrients to penetrate deep into the soil and reach the root zone.
2
Top Dressing
Top dressing involves spreading a selected sand layer over the playing surface to improve drainage, enhance surface consistency, and reduce thatch build-up.
3
Overseeding
Overseeding involves sowing new grass seed into an existing playing surface to thicken the grass cover and improve turf health.
4
Sand Spreading
Sand spreading is essential for improving drainage and supporting healthy grass growth. Our spinner spreaders ensure an even distribution of sand across the playing surface and maintains drainage systems.
5
Fertilising
Fertilising is key to maintaining healthy turf and supporting consistent grass growth. We apply slow-release fertilisers to provide a steady supply of nutrients over an extended period.
6
Shockwaving
Shockwaving is a turf maintenance method that uses a specialised machine fitted with tines to break into the soil. This action creates deep fractures in the ground, relieving soil compaction and improving both water infiltration and root growth.
7
Scarification
Scarification removes the layer of organic matter (thatch) that builds up on the surface over time, which can choke the grass and prevent healthy growth.
Bunker Construction and Renovation
We provide all bunker construction and renovation services including shaping, draining, installing concrete liner, sanding, and installing ecobunker edging.
