Project Description: |
|
The development consisted of the remodelling of the front 9 holes. The irrigation design (carried out by Irriplan) installed a new 9 hole irrigation system including bore hole well storage tanks and pump station. The Club purchased additional land by the banks of the River Suir where 3 new holes were developed. Imported fill and excavation was used to raise the holes above the River’s floodplain. An extensive drainage system was installed where all surface run-off was transferred to attenuation lakes. EGS carried out the grow-in maintenance on the new areas , handing them over before opening of the course to full play.
