Drainage Services
Waterlogged fairways, unusable driving ranges and temporary course closures can impact member satisfaction, visitor income and the overall reputation of the club. Too often, traditional drainage systems involve significant investment with disappointing long-term results.
OTB takes a different approach.
By utilising imported materials as part of a carefully engineered landform strategy, clubs can address drainage problems while simultaneously improving the course, practice areas and surrounding landscape.
Introducing The OTB Drainage System™ – working with gravity to move water naturally and efficiently.
The OTB Drainage System™ uses imported materials to create a series of carefully designed peaks and troughs beneath and around playing surfaces.
These subtle landforms encourage water to move naturally away from fairways, outfields and practice areas, directing excess surface water towards collection points and lower-lying areas where it can be managed effectively.
Rather than relying solely on expensive underground pipe networks, The OTB Drainage System™ uses the shape of the landscape itself to assist drainage performance.
The result is:
- Drier fairways and practice areas
- Reduced course closures during winter months
- Improved year-round playability
- Lower maintenance requirements
- Reduced reliance on traditional drainage installations
- More consistent playing conditions
Turn a problem into an opportunity – capture today’s rainfall for tomorrow’s irrigation.
The OTB Drainage System™ can also form part of a wider water harvesting strategy.
Run-off water can be collected, stored and reused for future irrigation requirements, reducing dependence on mains water supplies and improving the environmental sustainability of the club.
By combining drainage improvements with water harvesting infrastructure, clubs can create a more resilient and self-sufficient future while making better use of the natural resources already available on site.
Better drainage doesn’t just improve conditions underfoot.
It protects revenue, improves member experience and helps safeguard the long-term future of the club.
