Development
Assessment
Residential
subdivisions are often seen as a means of funding golf course
developments. Site conditions will determine what kind of
residential development will most profitably support the
constructions costs of a golf course. ACA can undertake assessments
of a site and advise on the best relationship between subdivision
and play areas.
Environmental Audit - Golf
Increasingly,
clubs and developers are facing environmental difficulties
with their golf facilities. ACA advises many clubs and developers
on:
- using different water sources, including grey water
- irrigation and drainage
- grass selection
- coordination of disease diagnosticians
- analysis of soil profiles for amendment programs (organic
regimes)
- regeneration, improvement and increase of habitat conditions
Global Positioning Survey
GPS
data can be captured of your existing irrigation system. Location
of valves, sprinklers, services and relevant data to prepare
an 'as constructed plan' for reference and future renovation
requirements. Green, Tee and Fairway perimeters
can also be obtained to assist with calculations for fertilizer
and chemical applications and yardage marker installation.
Irrigation Auditing
A
Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditor (C.L.I.A.) can
evaluate your existing irrigation system and determine
uniformity by examination of various factors and catch
can tests. Recommendations
can be made to improve efficiency resulting in water & cost
savings, improved turf quality, minimised water loss
to drainage, reduced run-off and use of chemicals (reduced
disease) with benefits to the environment. Better
efficiency can be achieved by improved system performance
and scheduling to follow the weather pattern. Audits
can follow either a basic or extensive collection
of data depending on budget.
