Air corridors created to produce healthy greens and trees replanted

For a few years now, we have had a maintenance policy that consists of creating a much healthier environment around our greens. One of the very important points in a healthy environment is the air; for this, we have created space around our greens by cutting down bushes and trees to create air corridors. This allows us to have greens less diseased and less risk of dew and therefore to be able to reduce our mechanical operations and reduce the number of sprays during the year.

Since we cut down trees around our greens we have decided to replant trees every year on the course. In 2023, we have planted more than 50 trees on the course. We replant them further from fragile spaces such as greens and tees.
