Optimising Golf Course Management with Aerial Insights
Precision turf management, cost-effective maintenance, and exceptional player experience are all essential for golf course management. Our high-resolution drone surveys provide detailed aerial insights, helping you to identify issues early, plan improvements, and enhance your marketing efforts.

Professional aerial footage elevates your tournaments and events, making them more engaging for sponsors and attendees. in addition our drones can be used to patrol perimeters for security or traffic management

Ground Management
We can deploy different combinations of drones to detect areas of drought or waterlogging as well as plant health or even detect plant invasive species to help the groundsman maintain the perfect surface and minimise disruption to play. See the case study below
CASE STUDY: Lancaster Golf Club
The Problem
The Research
The Lancashire Golf Club indicated they had a piece of land in the area of three of their holes which seemed to get waterlogged and wanted to see if we could discover the location of the source of the problem.
The Research
The Research
Using repeatable flight plans we flew 3 sets of missions over 8 weeks to establish changes over time busing a standard survey drone a thermal imaging drone and a multispectral drone giving us 3 ways to assess the topography and soil conditions.
The Tech
We processed the data from all three of the drones in modelling software in 2D and 3D and overlaid results from different drones and different surveys to detect changes in the result and patterns suggesting a sub soil problem
RGB
Multispectral
We used the 2D and 3D mapping facility on our survey drone to establish the topography, measure slope angles, identify shallow gullies and any other areas where water might pool or any direction of flow
Multispectral
Multispectral
Multispectral
The Multispectral drone was looking for areas of grass that might have been stressed from too much or too little water. In fact over the tests it showed the grass to be in very good condition (shows as red) and no useful data was produced in the search for any sub-soil water
Thermal
Multispectral
Multispectral
Wet ground , if all circumstances are equal, stays colder for longer than dry ground. The thermal sensor was used not to measure actual temperature changes but relative changes based on location and time. The cold spots were seen even on the first survey and had no obvious explanation and drew our attention from the start.

Initial Results
After three missions the area in the white ring still showed cold and coincided with the previous thermal surveys. It had no other explanation for being colder and has been shrinking in size over the period ( the weather was dry though out). We prepared a full 3D thermal model with measurements (see link below) and established this as a likely area for physical investigation. it appears to be a drainage channel that might be blocked or a broken pipe. Strangely just down teh slope was an unexplained hot spot which could suggest water is being blocked from reaching that part of the course.
