One of the most essential to the quality of a golf course, maintenance is often also one of the biggest expenses. Golf course maintenance also makes a difference when a golfer has several courses to choose from, invariably the better-maintained courses will be chosen. One of the most important choices a course can make is whether to do the maintenance in-house with its own staff and machinery or to outsource it. There are pros and cons to both forms. It is also very important to determine what the ambition level of the course maintenance is, should the course be ‘well’ maintained for the recreational golfer or does a major professional tournament take place annually?
Besides ‘regular’ maintenance, golf courses are once in a while in need of less or more drastic renovations, this can be the construction of improved drainage, making existing holes more exciting, or changing the complete routing (often including adapting certain holes). These types of projects require thorough planning to minimize inconvenience and negative impact on the enjoyment of play and operation.
