Our Green and Surrounds

​

Our green in Blackrock is the envy of many clubs. In 2015 the clay based green was replaced by a sand-based green, to USPGA standards. Sand, to a depth of 2 feet, was introduced and two grass types, Bentgrass and Poa Annua, were applied.

 

We are fortunate to have our own well supplying our tank with a capacity of 7,500 litres, which feeds the sprinkler system. At the peak season we cut up to five times per week and speed-roll twice a week. The green is top-dressed and aerated regularly throughout the season and the removal of morning dew is a 365 day-a-year task.

 

In wet conditions we use groundsheets to protect the grass surface. In addition to the above, over forty volunteer members, look after the upkeep of the surrounding flower beds and shrubs.
