Soil material reuse: enhancing cost-efficiency and environmental stewardship

In our efforts to minimise costs and environmental impact, we have implemented a soil material reuse program. Recent renovations have focused on tees and bunkers, and we have taken proactive steps to preserve and repurpose old bunker sands and breeding grounds. The saved bunker sand finds purpose in various applications, such as raising new tees and top dressing. Breeding grounds have been utilised in drainage projects and, when necessary, in the replacement of clay during sprinkler system upgrades.

Furthermore, we have established collaborations with nearby construction sites to receive mulch and quarry materials. These resources have been effectively employed in landscaping projects and providing support for tees. Through these initiatives, we actively contribute to sustainable practices by reducing waste, promoting the efficient use of soil materials and minimise our ecological footprint.
