Basically, new tee off areas, and the movement and replanting of trees that were essential to the course maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"boc_divider_holder\"><div class=\"boc_divider  \"  style=\"margin-top: 20px;margin-bottom: 20px;height: 1px;background: #711d34;\"><i class=\"icon icon-leaf\"  style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;color: #711d34;left: 50%; transform: translateY(-50%) translateX(-50%);background-color: #ffffff;padding: 10px;\"><\/i><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1569421780984{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<h2 class=\"boc_heading  al_left  \"  style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;margin-top: 0px;color: #333333;\"><span>Irrigation System<\/span><\/h2>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]The main objective behind the improvements to the irrigation system was to take what we already had up to a next level by reducing the amount of water used and creating a more environmentally sustainable system. To achieve this, essential changes to the hydraulic network, control and sprinkler systems were necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Other factors that have allowed us to achieve this goal have been:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Redesigning the irrigation system to cover the playing surface and avoid irrigating the areas of the course that were not essential and add no value.<\/li>\n<li>The installation of a weather station that accurately predicts the necessity for plant irrigation thus reducing water wastage<\/li>\n<li>Individual control system for each sprinkler allowing for zone controlled irrigation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In numbers, the improvements to the irrigation systems used 31.373 metres of pipeline of differing diameters and the installation of 1.356 sprinklers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"boc_spacing \" style=\"height: 10px\"><\/div>[vc_single_image alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; image=&#8221;26194&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"boc_divider_holder\"><div class=\"boc_divider  \"  style=\"margin-top: 20px;margin-bottom: 20px;height: 1px;background: #711d34;\"><i class=\"icon icon-leaf\"  style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;color: #711d34;left: 50%; transform: translateY(-50%) translateX(-50%);background-color: #ffffff;padding: 10px;\"><\/i><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1569421780984{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<h2 class=\"boc_heading  al_left  \"  style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;margin-top: 0px;color: #333333;\"><span>Bunkers<\/span><\/h2>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]All the bunkers surrounding the greens have been improved using the innovative Better Billy Bunker system.

With this improved bunker system, the quality and playability of the bunkers is always to a high standard and regular.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"boc_spacing \" style=\"height: 10px\"><\/div>[vc_single_image image=&#8221;26199&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"boc_spacing \" style=\"height: 10px\"><\/div>[vc_single_image image=&#8221;25860&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"boc_divider_holder\"><div class=\"boc_divider  \"  style=\"margin-top: 20px;margin-bottom: 20px;height: 1px;background: #711d34;\"><i class=\"icon icon-leaf\"  style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;color: #711d34;left: 50%; transform: translateY(-50%) translateX(-50%);background-color: #ffffff;padding: 10px;\"><\/i><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1569421780984{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"boc_spacing \" style=\"height: 20px\"><\/div><h2 class=\"boc_heading  al_left  \"  style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;margin-top: 0px;color: #333333;\"><span>Replacement of the Grass<\/span><\/h2><div class=\"boc_spacing \" style=\"height: 10px\"><\/div>[vc_column_text]The entire playing surface has been replaced.
