KENG GOLF COURSE RENOVATION
All golf courses eventually undergo renovation for many reasons but what is important to remember is that renovation is sometimes as important as making a whole new golf course, just a lot cheaper!
Every golf course gets worn down over time and high usage.
Even the very best golf courses with a very good superintendent still get old after about ten to twelve years and sometimes a refreshing change or two to the old golf course can get the players excited again and even entice new players to the “new” golf course.
KENG GOLF GROUP, based in Ho Chi Minh city, VietNam is offering free consultation (just cover travel and accommodation costs) for golf course owners so you can keep your golf course at its very best.
We can provide:
- Free inspection and appraisal
- Water management and environmental issues
- Redesigns
- Repair and improve drainage
- Repair or renew irrigation
- Reshaping
- Rebuild greens
- Rebuild sand traps and bunkers
- Rebuild tee boxes
- Regrassing
All of these factors can become a big negative to your golf course when they are not controlled over time.
As more and more golf courses come into operation, there is more pressure to keep the members and players at your golf course or if your golf course is becoming worn out, maybe they will want a change and go somewhere else.
The older golf course may still have many assets that a new golf course does not have, like mature trees and plants and they usually on the better location because they were there first.
KENG GOLF GROUP is offering this free service because we are aware that some golf courses in VietNam are approaching the age or time when a renovation may be a useful way to refresh the golf course and add value back to the course which it may have had when new.
Golfers are always seeking some new challenge and that will never change. those clubs who make the wise decision to keep their golf course looking and playing like new are the courses which will benefit longer –term.
By carrying out a renovation at your golf course, you are also giving yourself a new reason to advertise your course to players who may have never been there or didn’t like the old layout, or whatever.
