AND FLOW OF THE COURSE AS A
WHOLE."

However, a golf course is more than just a collection of holes. A great course design emphasises the character
and flow of the course as a whole. Similarly a well maintained course ensures that golfers want to return time and
time again. The more imagination that goes into the overall course, the more successful it will be. Good course
maintainers realise that each obstacle should not impair the flow from one hole to the next, providing challenging
and varied shot options while also being attractive and enjoyable to walk.
Each course has unique geography and flora. A well maintained course will utilise these natural characteristics
using the natural beauty and terrain to the course design’s advantage. One of the best features observed by
professional course maintainers is that during maintenance, whether mowing the greens, or cutting back
shrubbery, the course is wholly dependent on its topography, therefore, when operating and maintaining a course
Three60 Leisure use the natural terrain to dictate their approach to the maintenance work necessary to keep
golfers challenged.
The incredible flexibility of a golf course when operated efficiently is one of the unique aspects of golf that makes
maintaining golf courses so intriguing. Green-keeping is perhaps the most vital factor when maintaining golf
courses, an operator must understand the issues when choosing grasses. A green’s fine turf should comprise of
fine-leaved, slow-growing, deep-rooted, drought resistant grasses. Fortunately Three60’s green-keepers are
conversant with the best varieties suited to the hot humid conditions encountered in the Middle East.
An enjoyable aspect, sometimes frustrating for golfers, is negotiating the bumps and hollows around greens played
off tight dry turf, when the four wedges are not necessarily an advantage. Similarly Three60’s green-keepers
identify, especially after conversing with golfers that one of the distinctions between fine courses and others is that
a fine course encourages the bump and run shot, which requires exceptional grooming and scarification exercised
on aprons to greens.
Subsequently, Three60 take the care and feeding of a golf course very seriously. They are committed to ensuring
that the courses they operate are professionally planted, fertilized, watered, and the grass mowed perfectly,
constantly labouring to keep the course healthy and a fine playing surface. The skills utilised by Three60 range
from a thorough understanding of turf-grass to budgeting to equipment maintenance and repair to a commitment to
environmental protection.
Three60 Leisure in discussion with prospective clients are processing the needs of a golf course; yes,
grass, rough, smooth but very well tendered, sand bunkers, water features, trees and shrubbery, perhaps
the odd folly all combine to make a golf course challenging, interesting and enjoyable.
