Golf course maintenance equipment

It is no secret that labor is the biggest golf course maintenance expense. And golf course maintenance equipment comes in behind that cost. Did you know that the biggest cost is the irrigation system and the irrigation pump stations? An irrigation system original cost for an 18 hole golf course can range from $500,000 to $1,000,000. Along with that price tag, you will also have an annual service fee of $50K. An irrigation pump station can range from $200,000 to $400,000 each. And some courses will have two of them.

Mowers, spreaders, sprayers truck and vehicles will range from 500,000 to $600,000. Then maintenance will easily reach $150K from service staff, parts and tools. A fertigation system will cost $6K to $10K and save the golf course $10K to $25K annually.  The service life is 15 to 20 years. Because of this, the fertigation system has the longest service life and saves more money than any other piece of equipment on the golf course. Because of this, having a fertigation system is one of the most important golf course maintenance equipment that golf courses need to have nowadays.

Fertigation Equipment is Key

Did you know that fertigation systems deliver green golf courses for less cost, less labor, and less water? With a fertigation system, you are able to feed an entire golf course lightly with low-cost liquid fertilizer. You are also able to target the greens with your special brew of nutrients, surfactants, minors, and humates from your mixer. Because of this, you are in total control of the growth, color, and quality of your golf course. With a fertigation system in place, you will be able to reduce water use up to 50%. While still improving the overall quality of the course.

It is no secret that labor, fertilizer, and chemicals are the highest costs for a golf course. Did you know that fertigation can reduce all of these? Research shows that you will be able to save $10,000-$25,000 annually by just having a fertigation system. Fertigation can also reduce the fertilizer and chemical use by 50% or more. When you are using dry fertilizer 50% of the fertilizer never gets to the plant. But with a fertigation system, 95% of the fertilizer is able to get into the plant.
