They are huge users of power, including lighting, air conditioning, charging of golf carts and powering the water through pipes for irrigation. How much does a golf course pay for electricity on an average month?

What type of grass do many Australian golf courses have?

aflumpire asked:
I was reading these golf books for how to improve your game and there is a section in the book talking about the differences between Bent and Bermuda grass, particularly the Bermuda grass at Bay Hill in Florida.
I was reading these golf books for how to improve your game and there is a section in the book talking about the differences between Bent and Bermuda grass, particularly the Bermuda grass at Bay Hill in Florida.
It says in the book that Bermuda grows best in hot climates and that and also there is minimal grass between the ball and the club because it gross sideways.
I have played on one course where I live (Queensland, Australia) where it may have been Bermuda grass but what im wondering is what is the common grass types for golf courses around Australia and for that matter, if you live anywhere else in the world, what country generally uses if you know, even if its just a guess.
Im bored, have nothing else to do and wondering what grass is typicly used.

Craig Crooks asked:
Golf Course Discounts
If we are going to be able to continue playing golf in the next couple of years when money is going to be a little tight, then we are going to need to be able to do so without spending too much money
I enjoy playing new courses, so for me saving money needs to include searching for golf course discounts.
How To Find Golf Course Discounts
There are companies online who specialise in selling discount green fees. They approach golf courses and offer to sell their excess tee times for them. The website makes a commission, the golf course gets extra business and we get great golf course discounts.
Most of the deals on offer are two for one deals, and there are literally thousands of courses across the nation who have an arrangement with one of these websites, so your choices are not exactly limited.
Some of the larger programs include Golf Card, Golf Now and Players Pass but there are many others out there.
How To Get Access To These Golf Course Discounts
The easiest way to find them is through Google or one of the other major search engines. There are over twenty online so you shouldn’t have much trouble finding them
Some of these sites cover courses all across the nation. Other programs are smaller and concentrate on a specific region. You may need to check few a few of the programs to find discounts at the golf courses in your area.
It is important to read through the instructions for each program. The way they operate will vary slightly from program to program.
Keep Track Of Any Good Deals You See
There are so many programs out there, that it may take you a little time to find a deal for a specific course. One thing I would suggest you do is build up a little swipe file of golf courses with discounts. Any time you come across a course that you might be interested in playing, make note of the program that offers the discount, so it will be easy to find in the future.
Over time you will build up a nice little list of courses to play, and variety will never be a problem. Always remember to do a search for a discount before playing any new course – there is a good chance that there will be some sort of deal available.

The Benefits of a Golf Course Membership
Filed Under golf courses | Comments Off
Joe Kensingtons asked:
There are many advantages and benefits you can enjoy by choosing to get a golf course membership rather than playing at different golf clubs in your area. Consider some of the top benefits and reasons for joining a local country club and then decide whether or not joining your local golf club is a good idea for you.
First, most golf clubs systems if not all of them provide you with a handicap tracking system. This makes it easier for you to keep track of your golf scores. Rather than sending your scorecard to a golf association for a real handicap which means you are allowed to play in golf tournaments.
Second, by having a membership to a local golf club you can have access to facilities with locker rooms. You may also be allowed to use their restaurant as a meeting place. This allows you to get to know fellow members better and make it easier when you are going to play golf to find a player you can team up with.
Third, if you have a membership to a local golf course then you are more likely to take a drive down there for a few hours of practice or a round of golf when you have the time. If you are unfamiliar with a golf course you are less likely to go when you have the time or you will have a harder time getting available times. The most times you can practice your golf strategy the better you will become.
Fourth, those with a golf club membership often have a better game plan approach since they are more familiar with the course. You know what lies ahead when you are familiar with a golf course when makes it easier for you to make your club selection at each hole.
Fifth, when you regularly visit a golf course that you have a membership at you will start to memorize the yardage at each hole. This will also help with your understanding of your yardage capabilities.
Six, many golf clubs will provide you with a trade-off system. This is an excellent opportunity to visit different golf courses in the area in exchange for letting members from other clubs play at your golf course. So you can still have a different challenge when you want it, rather than being stuck at one golf course all the time.
Seventh, by being a member of a golf course you are more likely to take part in golf tournaments. Check the member’s bulletin board at your local golf course and you will be informed of any upcoming events. Consider taking part in a tournament that interests you to have a unique challenge.
Eighth, with a golf course membership you only pay a yearly green fee at the country club and then you can play unlimited golf. There are only certain day and hour restrictions which you will be notified about up front when deciding whether or not you want the membership.
Lastly you have a better chance of getting last minute tee times. If you are a member you will often be allowed to join up with other members.

Bait The Customers- Be An Expert Golf Course Builder And Hit A Cut Shot
Filed Under golf courses | Comments Off
Ranju Kumar asked:
If you own and/or operate your own business, did you know that you can take a cut shot to be a profit masters? That’s right! All you have to do is be a golf course builder to attract the customers that you desire! In golf, a cut shot is normally referred to a shot that is played for the purpose and intent of getting the golf ball to go around, over, or under a specific obstruction. It is a risky shot, to say the least, but if it is successful, you will be that much closer to a victory.
There are many challenges in the business world and one of the biggest challenges is to keep track of the customers. An expert golf course builder builds his golf course thinking that the world is not enough and attracts all his customers.
1. The very first step to getting people interested in the course that you are building is to convince those people that you are an expert as a golf course builder. When it comes to your home based business, of course, you are not really building a golf course ? this is all just for the sake of comparison. The same concept holds true for any industry that you become part of ? you must establish yourself as an expert in your industry. If you do this, “they will come”!
2. Being in business means that you are confident and daring to convince the customers that you are an expert golf course builder. In order to bring in customers you can bring in offers such as free membership, get a month free by buying the first month. You can use the similar concept in your home based business by presenting free gifts, free eBook or may be even a free membership to prove that you are an expert. This confidence will automatically rush the customers to you for business.
3. When the customers are with you for business then you have to answer to all their questions. Like in the case of a golf course builder he has to teach some individuals how to play the game. This can be done by arranging a session of questionnaire that will answer all the queries of the potential customers and also the potential affiliates.
If they are looking for specific answers and cannot find them, they will leave your website and probably never return. “First impressions” are essential when it comes to obtaining new customers. As shown here, you can easily become one of the many profit masters in the world that are also considered to be a golf course builder! All you have to do is consider the outline above, and put it to work for you! If you would like to know more about making the world a personal golf construction project to attract customers.

Golfing and Golf Courses of Costa Del Sol Spain
Filed Under golf courses | Comments Off
Grahame Simpson asked:
This region has been nicknamed Costa del Golf with a good reason, as it is a paradise for the golfers with about 70 golf courses in Andalucía, and the Costa del Sol boasts of almost 50 of them. There are four golf courses in the region which are among the top ten in Europe.
The first thought which comes to our mind when we hear Costa del Sol, Spain would be sea, sand and the sun. This part of Spain has been endowed with an abundance of natural seaside, beaches and coves. The coastline is about hundred kilometers long with a number of shimmering beaches all the way along.
Spain is fast becoming the golfing Mecca of Europe. It has a winning recipe with world class courses designed in spectacular settings and weather which offers golf all the year round for all golfers to enjoy.
The Spanish mainland as well as the islands are home to an amazing assortment of golf courses and golfing, for golfers with all skill level, taste as well as budgets. You can enjoy golf from the Costa del Golf in Andalucía to the stunning courses in Catalonia situated in the foothills of the Pyrenees.
This is no wonder that the country is one of the most sought after golf holiday destinations in the world. Costa del Sol or better known as Costa del Golf has a number of golf courses which can fulfill the requirements of all golfers. As new courses are being designed even the most frequent golfer will have new challenges every time he visits this region of Spain.
Every year thousands of north European golfers make it their winter destination. With its concentration of varied courses along the coastline and foothills of the mountain ranges. This region offers the golfer ideal weather with its warm and sunny climate. In fact if you love playing golf then a visit to Costa del Sol in Spain is a must.
The region of Costa del Sol offers numerous world class clubs such as Valderrama, which is the most celebrated golf course in Spain and was home to the Ryder Cup in 1997 and the World Golf American Express Championships in 1999 and 2000. This club has also become the sacred venue for the esteemed Volvo Masters tournament.
There are some other well known clubs including Torrequebrada the impressive and challenging Monte Mayor, which is a golf course designed on the mountainside and has the unmatched panorama of the Gibraltar, Mediterranean and North Africa. San Roque is another famous club which has a golf academy started by Seve Ballesteros and an equestrian centre managed by Captain Mark Phillips.
With the huge success of the Ryder Cup, golf has been taken to new heights at Costa del Sol in Spain and it has also gained worldwide appreciation. This has seen the designing of top quality courses in this region to cater to the ever growing demand with Finca Cortesin Golf Course the most recent championship course to play in Costa del Sol, Spain.
The reasons are many and over the years Costa del Sol has demonstrated that the numero uno destination for golfers looking for interesting, challenging as well as a relaxing golf vacation is here.

The Purpose of the Nine-iron on Golf Courses
Filed Under golf courses | Comments Off
Boris Tomson asked:
The Purpose of the Nine-Iron on Golf Courses
Most golfers have a nine-iron in their golf bag, but perhaps many golfers do not know exactly what its intended used is. This is, probably, even more true for beginner golfers who are still trying to figure the use of every golf iron in their bag.
The nine-iron is not to be used if the ball is farther than 130 yards from the green. If it the ball is any further back, he or she would want to choose a seven-iron or eight-iron. Although the nine-iron does have a highly angled club head, for a regular golf iron, it simply does not get the loft you would get from a lofting, pitching, chipping or sand wedge. However, the nine-iron does offer more distance than the wedge clubs.Visit to : http://golfclub-review.blogspot.com
At this point, those new to playing golf may ask why the nine-iron is even included in the golf bag. It is heavy enough as it is. The nine-iron does serve a purpose, though. It is a good short-range utility club that provides good elevation from the fairway and back to the green. It can also be used to chip with and also works well as a sand wedge in the event a sand wedge is needed but not available.
There are times when a nine-iron can be used as a substitute for the seven-iron or eight-iron. If the golfer finds him or herself 180 from the hole, a nine-iron can be used but with some extra thought. The golfer may want to consider intentionally blading the golf ball to gain some additional distance, though this would sacrifice some elevation. Such shots are sometimes required during a game since a seven-iron or eight-iron might be too much club for the distance. Of course, golf courses vary resulting in much depending on that course and the obstacles the golfer may be facing for the shot in question.http://golfclub-review.blogspot.com
For chipping within 100 yards, the nine-iron is one of the better clubs to choose. The golfer can get more elevation with the ball, yet cut the distance, if the ball is placed in back of his or her stance. Keeping his or her feet closer together makes it difficult for the golfer to strike the ball as hard which will result in the ball not flying the green (when a ball carries over the green when hit).
Additionally, the nine-iron is a good club if the golfer is playing a short par 3 hole which are as short as 100 yards on some golf courses. In fact, using anything more than a nine-iron will be too much. Stance is important here as well since the golfer does not want to drive the ball too far. A closed stance in this case will help him or her limit the distance the ball travels, and placing the ball further back in his or her stance will cause the ball to get loft faster. If struck correctly, the ball should fly perfectly onto the green, hopefully rolling into the cup or at least close to it.
As you see, the nine-iron serves a good purpose and is, certainly, a club to have in your bag! http://golfclub-review.blogspot.com

Minnesota Golf Courses: Territory Golf Club in St. Cloud

Dana Buttenhoff asked:
What you will notice when you arrive at Territory Golf Club and make your way to the clubhouse is a rolling prairie landscape. What you will also notice is wetlands and streams running through the property. What you won’t notice is an abundance of trees. This is what you see about the property from the parking lot. Because looks can be deceiving, what you will later discover is the tale of two golf courses. All of the hole on the front nine, as well as, holes 10 and 18 are situated on rolling prairie with a compliment of native grasses in the rough and other places that you are not supposed to hit your golf ball. Holes 11 through 17 are cut out of an oak forest that also features wetlands and streams along with some significant elevation changes.
Territory Golf Club plays to a par of 72 and measures 6,921 yards from the back tee markers. The course rating, from the back tees, is 72.9 and has a slope index of 125. There are four sets of tee markers, which means there is an appropriate yardage for golfers of all skills.
The management team consisting of Brock Swanson, head golf professional, Dan Stang, golf course superintendent and Dan Dols, general manager make sure that the players experience is outstanding. The course condition and the pace of play make Territory Golf Club a golf course that you will want to place on your list of places to play in central Minnesota. My playing partner and I played our round on a weekend morning and completed our play in just less than four hours. There were groups in front of and behind us and the pace of play flowed nicely.
The greens at Territory Golf Club are quite large, averaging nearly 7,000 square feet each and have significant undulation. These two factors make club selection as you approach the green critical. Just being on the green in regulation does not guarantee that you will have two putts for a par. My playing partner for the round described the greens a looking like “big potato chips” referring the random shapes as well as the wavy appearance as you walk onto the putting surface.
Another challenge at Territory Golf Club is the sand traps. The traps can generally be described as large, deep and having steep faces on them. Getting out of the traps successfully should be your first concern, getting close to the pin should be of secondary importance.
The back nine plays longer than the front nine with number 10 and number 18 being the two longest holes on the golf course. The par-3 holes are longer-range holes with the shortest playing at 170 yards and the longest playing at 245 yards.
If you are looking for a challenging golf course to play in central Minnesota I would certainly check out Territory Golf Club in St. Cloud. You can call for a tee a time at 320-258-4653 or visit their website at www.territorygc.com for more details.
