At Fulford Heath Golf Club, we’re committed to maintaining top-quality playing conditions for our members and guests. This video showcases our dedicated greens staff hard at work using a trencher to connect the System 25 drainage system to the main drains on the 3rd green.
In addition to linking these critical systems, our team is addressing drainage challenges in key areas:
- Green-Side Bunkers: Installing drainage to prevent water accumulation and maintain playability after heavy rains on the greenside and fairway bunker.
- Left Side of the Green: Historically a pinch point prone to excessive wetness, this area is being upgraded with improved drainage to enhance durability and minimise downtime.
These enhancements are part of our ongoing efforts to ensure that the course remains resilient and enjoyable throughout the seasons.
This video showcases an important milestone in our drainage improvement project: the Green Staff trenching the first green to connect the new System 25 drainage directly to the main drains. You can clearly see water pouring from the newly installed system—this is water that would previously have pooled on top of the green or remained just beneath its surface, compromising playability and health of the turf. Thanks to this innovative system, we’re ensuring better water management, faster drainage, and improved conditions for the long term.
This has been installed on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd greens.
