The functions of water on a golf course:

  • Water Hazards – Lakes and ponds provide the course with a great way to challenge its players.
  • Decorative ponds – a nice pond maybe with some fish by the club house makes the experience of your golf course that much nicer from the time they arrive until the time they leave.
  • Irrigation ponds – provide the course with an excellent and environmentally friendly water reservoir to water T’s, greens, and fairways.


The benefits of adding a pond to a golf course:

Irrigation: Keep your golf course from becoming just another field. Watering of your T's & greens is critical for a good course. In only 1-5 acres you can create a natural resource for convenient irrigation. Simple streams can also function as a beautiful irrigation source as well as a different type of challenge for the golfers.

Create a Golfer's Challenge: Any pond on a golf course is considered a water hazard and by right the course is deemed more challenging. Most professional and amateur golfers alike will agree that a game on a challenging course is a much more rewarding experience. Water hazards present a beautiful danger to a golf hole; they present the player with a decision: to play it safe, or risk disaster and these decisions are why the game of golf is loved so well.

Support Environmentalists: For some time now, environmentalists have voiced their growing concerns about the effects golf courses have on the environment. Superintendents and landscape architects have taken heed and are responding by taking better approaches to design and maintenance and by making golf courses more environmentally friendly on the whole.

Can Be Used in an Emergency: The lakes or ponds on the course can also be used in the unfortunate event of a fire. This is an appealing prospect for the surrounding residential or industrial areas.

Furthermore, in the case of a drought, a pond or lake that is normally used as a back-up supply of water can become the primary water source. Granting the pond is big enough, this water can be used to irrigate the course. This creates another opportunity to save water by not needlessly taping into a source that is already in distress.

Added Value: Water features increase the value of any property in many ways. Most noticeably, they make golf courses more challenging which increases the popularity of the course and attracts more golfers which means more business. Well kept water hazards and decorative ponds help to make the course more attractive and bring customers back time and time again.
