Solutions for Golf Courses
Geosynthetic solutions for water management and soil protection.
On a golf course, every drop counts. Efficient water management not only ensures turf in optimal condition year-round, but also reduces operational costs and reinforces the course’s environmental commitment. That’s why SAI offers specialized solutions in planning, optimization, and control of water resources, tailored to the specific needs of each course.
Water Management and Storage for Irrigation Systems
It is a solution designed to solve water shortage issues during the dry season and losses due to infiltration, as well as to reduce dependence on external sources.
It works through waterproofed lakes and reservoirs, underground storage systems, and controlled water conveyance to the irrigation site.
The results are:
- Constant water availability
- Less operative costs
- Sustainable course operation
Rainwater Management
Stormwater tanks are ideal for solving flooding issues on fairways and cart paths, addressing saturation in existing drainage systems, and ensuring regulatory compliance.They work by capturing surface runoff and temporarily storing rainfall for controlled release or reuse.
The results are:
- A course that can operate even after hard rains
- Infrastructure protection
- Risk and penalty reduction
Drainage for Greens, Fairways, and Bunkers
It solves waterlogging, damaged turf, and uneven surfaces.
It works through underground drainage systems, layer separation and filtration, and rapid evacuation of excess water.
Results are:
- Year‑round playable surfaces
- Less maintenance needs
- It provides a better experience for the player
Erosion Control and Slopes Stabilization
It addresses washouts, loss of turf material, and unsightly damage.It works through structural soil reinforcement, slope and lake edge protection, and integration with vegetation.
The results are:
- Stabilized and safe slopes
- Aesthetic course appearance
- Less future corrections
Road and Services Zones Stabilization
A solution focused on preventing subsidence, damaged cart paths from maintenance and golf carts, and recurring maintenance costs.
It works through ground reinforcement, load distribution, and functional, aesthetically pleasing surfaces.
The results are:
- Long-lasting road
- Less long-term investment
- Continue operation without interruption
Hidden Infrastructure and Efficient Space Use
Beneficial for locations with limited space for hydraulic infrastructure and where visual impact from technical systems is a concern.
It operates with underground systems installed beneath green areas or traffic zones, fully integrated into the course design.
The results are:
- Zero visual impact
- Maximum advantage of the terrain
- Visible but strategic infrastructure
Why Use Geosynthetics in Your Golf Course?
Our systems are based on intelligent, long‑lasting materials that meet aesthetic standards and the care requirements of golf courses. Whether it’s dealing with water loss, unwanted vegetation, or poor‑quality drainage, SAI helps you transform your course into a more optimal, low‑maintenance facility.
Traditional pond construction methods (such as compacted clay or concrete) typically fail over time. A geosynthetic lining, on the other hand, offers:
Environmental protection
High chemical resistance
Protection against weather and climate change
Flexibility to adapt to irregular shapes
Quicker installation with less environmental impact
Superior waterproofing performance
