Golf Course Maintenance: Mowing Operations

This plan is flexible and modifications to this plan are appropriate when weather conditions and other unavoidable circumstances arise. These objectives should be met within an overall annual operating and capital maintenance budget prepared by the Golf Maintenance staff, and approved by the General Manager and the Board of Directors. Mowing schedules, height of cut, and mowing equipment is kept on a detailed maintenance program throughout the year. Due to seasonal growth rates and climatic changes, adjustments to the schedule will be made as necessary. During reduced growth periods or turfgrass stress, conservative procedures are acceptable.
