Know How A Golf Course Made : Detailed Procedure

 

The lands features are incorporated into the design process. During grading, for example, large boulders and rocks may be found. If they are removed, they are then used to build retaining walls around greens, tees, and lakes.

Having a contractor who has experience in golf course construction, or someone on site to supervise the contractor, is extremely important. Many contractors are experienced in roadbuilding, which involves symmetrical and uniform slopes and finished elevations on stakes. On a golf course, the slopes are shaped more to resemble a natural-occurring contour. The final grades are determined in the field and few survey stakes are installed.

Golf course finish shaping requires a high level of specialized knowledge. At this point, all final grades and shapes will be constructed. During this process, the tees,fairways, traps and greens will be shaped. The final shaping is very simple if the rough grading has been done precisely. Therefore, we require rough grading crews to be involved in finishing shaping as well. In the morning, that same operator will be doing the final shaping on the area he rough-graded the day before.

Final grading involves specialized equipment. Finish shaping is usually done with farm tractors fitted with specialized attachments. Every golf course is prepared differently for seeding or sodding. The implements we have developed for finish grading are fabricated and installed on tractors with four-wheel drive.

During construction, the greens are given the most attention. Each green measures between 5,000 and 10,000 square feet. This area will be excavated to a depth of 18 inches. The final contour of the greens will then be defined. In spite of the varying contours, all installed material will have the same depth. The material will be
graded to the correct elevations after the stakes are installed.

In the bottom of the green, drainage pipes will be installed every 10 feet. On top of these pipes, pea gravel will be filled. After this a back fill a 4-inch layer of coarse sand is applied.

Designers have many different opinions regarding the proper mix. Some will utilize pure sand, while others blend in natural soil amendments. These natural amendments usually contain microorganisms that are essential for providing good

root zone performance. Other designers will adhere to the USGA&#39s guidelines and use a blend of 80% sand and 20% peat moss. The USGA's suggestions, in our opinion, result in excellent-performing greens.
