Fall maintenance tips for your golf course

Every golf course has its distinct needs and challenges, so keep in mind that these tips can be adjusted to suit your course's specific requirements. Here are some general guidelines to consider:

1. Make Essential Repairs: Fall is a great time for repairs. Dedicate time to repairing both course turf, maintenance equipment and any broken items within course buildings. Work with GreenSource for speedy repairs to your course, ready to be played on the next day.

2. Leaf Removal Matters: Leaf removal might seem like an endless task, but it's vital for both turf health and providing an enjoyable experience for golfers. If your team typically conducts daily leaf removal, try to schedule it during quieter course hours to avoid disruption.

3. Control Traffic: Managing golfer and cart traffic is a year-round responsibility, but it's especially important in the fall. Turf that's going dormant is more susceptible to damage. Consider implementing a cart-path-only policy more frequently during this season, particularly in areas with heavy usage.

As the dedicated maintenance team for your golf course, your efforts play a pivotal role in keeping the course beautiful and playable. Being proactive with fall maintenance and repairs and set the stage for many successful years ahead. Remember, a well-maintained course not only enhances the golfing experience but also ensures the longevity of your facilities and equipment.
