Achieving ultimate water efficiency isn’t just about saving money, it’s about keeping the golf and sports industries sustainable and ensuring their longevity.

The summer of 2022 saw temperatures reaching close to 40 degrees and parts of the UK even experiencing wildfires. With golf courses often exempt from hosepipe bans during increasing drought conditions, it’s imperative that clubs throughout the UK are known for being socially responsible in terms of their water management and irrigation, especially at a time when we can no longer rely on the weather to irrigate our landscapes.

Continuous temperature rises over the decades

Decrease in total precipitation all year round

Clubs need to start acting now to future-proof against climate change and stricter water use legislation and preserve their surface quality over the next decade and beyond.

Did you know?

66%

of UK golf courses are using the mains water supply

74%

of clubs' irrigation systems are over 20 years old

90%

of annual water usage can be reduced by harvesting rainwater

Toro has delivered decades of innovation in advancing sprinkler and irrigation control and continues to invest in sustainable technology to ensure that our sports are as eco-friendly as possible. And with on-site support from Reesink’s irrigation technicians, clubs are getting best practice advice and are able to then optimise their equipment to deliver responsible and effective irrigation.
