Since November, the Madrid Golf Club La Dehesa Golf has been employing the capabilities of Maya, which is an artificial intelligence system, to supervise the maintenance of its eighteen-hole course.

Additionally, in addition to ground probes, the club has already created a meteorological station through its efforts. The Maya project can obtain vital information from this equipment, which enables it to gain insights into the current state of the topic that is being investigated. Using this information and the feedback provided by the greenkeeper, it is feasible to construct prediction models that are capable of anticipating potential dangers, such as illnesses or pests, up to three days in advance.

It has been reported that Abel Jiménez, the manager of La Dehesa Golf Club, has stated that “it is essential for us to leverage technology to remain at the forefront of efficient and sustainable resource management.” As a result of Maya’s capabilities, through which she supplies us with the necessary data and analysis, we can recognise potential obstacles that may arise in the future.

One of the goals that Maya has set for herself in the not-too-distant future is to be able to offer tailored guidance for certain golf courses. For this purpose, the information that is obtained from integrated sensors as well as the knowledge of greenkeepers will be utilised. Through the process of streamlining operations, improving efficiency, and lowering total expenditures, Maya, who is widely referred to as “the greenkeeper’s helper,” plays a vital role in the process.

In December of this year, La Dehesa Golf Club, along with nine other golf courses, will be a symbol of the leading edge of Spanish facilities for their adoption of digital transformation and artificial intelligence in golf course management. This will be the case since these golf clubs maintain their courses using these technologies. As a direct result of the combined efforts of all of these individuals, the golf industry is currently transforming both operational efficiency and sustainability.

Modern Greens for Los Lagos Golf Club

Modern Greend for Los Lagos Golf Club
The nine-hole course that Vidaor, Sardá & Saenger developed for the Los Lagos Golf Club in Zaragoza, which was initially named “Prados del Rey,” was shown to the public for the first time in 1997. During the year 2000, it underwent a name change and became known as the Los Lagos Golf Club. By the year 2002, Ramón Espinosa’s course had grown to include eighteen holes and was entirely open to the public.

Just recently, the administration of the club decided to begin a modernization journey by electing to upgrade the club’s irrigation system with cutting-edge CirrusPro technology and Rain Bird independent control, focusing on golf sustainability. At the moment, Green Natur has implemented this system in two of the holes, and they intend to implement it across the entire course by March 2024.

Daniel Sanchez, who is the golf sales manager for Rain Bird’s Iberian Peninsula division, is overjoyed. He says, “The Los Lagos Golf Club’s dedication to innovation, water conservation, and energy efficiency with CirrusPro and IC technology truly elevates its course quality.”

On the subject of the benefits that Rain Bird’s Integrated Control System (IC System) offers, Daniel provides further explanation by stating, “In today’s landscape, efficiency is key.” Through the provision of precise control and a wide range of benefits that extend beyond irrigation, the IC System improves operational efficiency. He then goes on to explain the capabilities of the system, pointing out how a greenkeeper may remotely monitor and handle individual components by utilising a variety of different devices. “The Integrated Control Interface Plus (ICI+) and IC CONNECT enhance flexibility, facilitating comprehensive management,” according to what he continues to explain.

Daniel places a strong emphasis on the streamlined architecture of the system, which simplifies installation, reduces cable usage by 90 percent, removes the need for splicing by fifty percent, and eliminates the requirement for additional equipment such as satellites and decoders. He concludes with the statement, “This efficient design not only ensures system reliability but also optimises labour costs, making expansions straightforward by integrating components wherever a MAXI cable is present.”

Golf Merit Plates for Costa del Sol

Golf Merit Plates for Costa del Sol
The Royal Spanish Golf Federation (RFEG) has bestowed Gold Medals and Merit Plates in Golf 2023 to commemorate the great accomplishments of the sport, based on the recommendation of the Honours Committee and subsequent ratification by the Board of Directors.

Eight of the nine Merit Plates in Golf, which recognise institutions that have greatly enriched golf, emphasise the Costa del Sol as a premier golf destination.

The staging of elite professional tournaments, the inception of the Race to Costa del Sol, and emotional backing for the Solheim Cup and the inaugural PING Junior Solheim Cup in Spain have prompted the RFEG to honour a consortium of Andalusian entities pivotal in these achievements: Junta Andalucía, Diputación de Málaga, ACOSOL, Ayuntamiento de Marbella, Ayuntamiento de Casares, Ayuntamiento de Benahavís, Finca Cortesín, and La Zagaleta.

Finca Cortesín, recognised for its superb architecture and challenging course, is a tribute to the Costa del Sol‘s top golfing experiences. The course’s immaculate conditions, combined with its spectacular vistas of the Mediterranean, have repeatedly won praise from both amateurs and pros, cementing its position as a must-visit location for golf aficionados during a golf holiday in Costa del Sol.

Similarly, in golf, La Zagaleta in Marbella embodies elegance and exclusivity. The course, set against a backdrop of natural beauty, perfectly mixes top-tier facilities with an unrivalled golfing experience. La Zagaleta is a jewel in Spain’s golfing crown, attracting appreciation from global golf lovers for its devotion to excellence, from course upkeep to member amenities.

Furthermore, the Son Servera Golf Club in Mallorca won the Merit Plate in Golf for its consistent dedication to golf since its founding in 1967, making it the Balearic Islands’ second-oldest club.

This Mallorcan school is well-known for its nurturing approach to developing golf talent, having produced multiple champions, including famous professional Nuria Iturrioz.

Son Servera, which has 700 associates and leads the Balearics in new licence creation, differentiates itself from the island’s commercial clubs due to its social essence and prominent standing. It provides free introduction courses monthly and actively promotes Mallorca as a premier golfing destination in the Balearic Islands.
