Title of Project:

Advanced Golf Course Irrigation System

Project Overview:

In partnership with renowned course architect Dino De Abreu, Pretoria Country Club embarked on a major upgrade, aiming to install Africa’s most sophisticated golf course irrigation system. Designed to improve turf health, reduce water usage, and support real-time weather-based scheduling, this system had to be installed with minimal disruption to players.

Scope of Work:

  • Full redesign of course-wide irrigation layout
  • New central control system with cloud-based access
  • Pump station upgrade with variable frequency drives (VFD)
  • Sprinkler configuration tailored to unique course zones and requirements

Key Components:

  • Hunter central controller and smart sensors
  • High-efficiency rotors with adjustable arcs
  • Self-cleaning filtration and remote diagnostics tools
  • New pump system drawing water from on-site dam

Outcome:

The result is an energy-efficient, automated system that ensures optimal turf conditions and dramatically reduces operational effort. The upgrade supports Pretoria Country Club's commitment to world-class course standards and environmental stewardship.
