Golf course surveys

It's vital for Course Managers to keep their course in top condition whilst working to a budget. Being aware of potential issues before they become a costly or time-consuming problem adds another tool to the box, which is where aerial multispectral golf course surveys prove invaluable for maintenance.

What is Multispectral Imaging?

Plants naturally reflect light in differing degrees, depending on chlorophyll absorption. Multispectral sensors view light in the normal visual range that our eyes can see, as well as additional bands that are invisible to us, such as near-infrared. By measuring the canopy reflectance values we are able to reliably detect stressed vegetation before it becomes visible to the eye; often around 3 days beforehand!

By measuring the sunlight reflectance on the green, we can detect potential problems such as unhealthy grass caused by fusarium or mycelium, water stress and irrigation problems. Course Managers can act on the intelligence we provide, saving costs in time and resources by removing the need for manual monitoring and through targeted application of herbicide or fertlizer.

How much does it cost?

Surveys are competitively and simply priced to enable integration with your current management processes. Your investment includes pre-planning, the survey flight, post-processing with area analysis and comprehensive PDF report.

Choose a one-off survey to obtain a 'current state', or opt for monthly monitoring surveys across the growing season. 

We charge a 'per visit' rate plus £50 per hole, which gives you the flexibility to decide what to survey, and when.

We are pleased to offer our services across Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire and West Sussex.

Are you ready to embrace the future of golf course management? Call us now to discuss how we can help you.

Our golf course surveys enable us to create a permanent, fully interactive map of your course. Hosted in the cloud, Golf Course Managers can access it as and when required. 

Accurately measure points of interest, colour code, group or overlay existing irrigation information. Any old paper maps of the course can be scanned and overlayed. Elevations are included to assist in understanding the course drainage and how it might be improved.
