Future-proofed irrigation system to be installed at Golf At Goodwood

Golf At Goodwood has confirmed plans to install a state-of-the-art Toro irrigation system on its Downs Course in what is being described as a “transformational” investment for the club.

The £1.75 million project, which has now been formally approved and ordered, will replace the existing irrigation network at the Sussex downland venue with the latest Toro technology.

With work due to begin in mid-October and expected to take three to four months to complete, MJ Abbott are getting ready to deliver the installation of the brand-new Toro irrigation system. To minimise disruption, work will be carried out on a hole-by-hole basis, with 18 holes expected to be in play throughout the project.

At the heart of the irrigation upgrade is a new holding tank, which will increase water storage capacity by 160% compared with the existing system. The new set up will provide targeted irrigation for greens, tees, aprons, and approaches up to 60 yards from each green. Although fairways are not included initially due to estate-wide water availability, the system has been designed with future expansion in mind should resources allow.
