Golf courses are major consumers of water and a huge target for regulators and rate increases. Turf reductions are cost-savings projects that consist of removing turf in non-play areas. Turf reduction projects can drastically reduce water consumption resulting in huge water bill savings. The savings benefits from these projects are long term and will continue to reduce the water usage year after year. The savings from the reduced water bill generally far outweigh the cost of the turf reduction project and can produce a return on investment within the first year. The natural landscape design possibilities are really endless, making the decision to start turf reduction projects at your course a question of “when” . . . not “if.”
