Huxley Golf has recently completed the installation of a
large all-weather practice tee area at the prestigious Trump International Golf
Links in Aberdeenshire.
The 12ft (3.6mtr) wide by 84ft (25.6mtr) long tee,
incorporating 10 bays, was created using Huxley Golf Premier Tee Turf 2. Work
was carried out during the autumn in readiness for play throughout the winter
months.
Huxley Golf’s Hugh Fraser oversaw the project, working
alongside, and at the request of, Course Manager Steve Wilson.
Mr Wilson said: “We strive to be the ultimate golf
destination and that means being the best in all that we do. Our members were
requesting the opportunity to play and enjoy our beautiful facilities here
during the seasonal closure of the main course and we responded to this with
our new all-weather practice tee facility.
"In
line with the rest of the course, it was expertly designed and installed - it
looks fantastic and it plays exceptionally well. The impact of this work has
been most encouraging: we no longer have to close our practice tee for winter
and the feedback that I have received from our valued members has been
incredibly positive.”
Hugh Fraser added: “The inclusion of an all-weather practice
tee will not only benefit members but the whole team at Trump International
Golf Links. Using our world class surfaces during the challenging Scottish
winters alleviates the problem of wear and tear, allowing the natural grass
areas to successfully germinate. And, with virtually no maintenance
requirement, it will have minimal impact on the greenkeeping team’s schedule,
enabling them to concentrate on ensuring that the course looks its very best
for the 2018 season.”
Set against the dramatic backdrop of the North Sea, the
highly acclaimed 7,400 yard, par 72 championship course weaves through majestic
dunes and rises to offer breath-taking panoramic views of the sea. Each hole
boasts distinct characteristics and unique features to create an unparalleled
test for keen golfers.
Trump International Golf Links joins a formidable line-up of
premier Scottish golf clubs that have installed a Huxley Golf all-weather
facility; these include St Andrews, Gleneagles, Carnoustie and Royal
Troon.
The PGA accredited Huxley Golf provides
premier all-weather surfaces for golf around the world for individuals,
training and coaching establishments, golf resorts, ranges and academies as
well as many top-flight courses.
