We have two pump stations on property, one for each course.

Everyone has seen the building on the right side of #1 North and next

to the lake on #4 South. Here is a look inside at the equipment

involved in keeping the courses alive.

Inside the pump station are a series of vertical turbine motors that

spin the shaft and the pump pulling water up into the piping. The

size and number of motors and pumps is determined by the

amount of water to be moved, pressure desired, distance and

elevation. Both of our pump stations split each course into two

zones, a high zone and a low zone. On the North, the high zone

feeds holes #2-8 and the low zone feeds the driving range and

holes #1, 9, and 10-8. On the south, the high zone feeds holes #1-3

and 15-18 while the low zone feeds holes #4-14.

Both course’s pump stations are set up very similarly. In the

picture below you can see the six, gray pump motors, three for

each zone. Each zone has two 70 horsepower motors and one 25

horsepower motor. At maximum capacity the high zone can put

out approximately 1,400 gallons per minute and the low zone 2,200

gallons per minute. The motors pull the water up out of the wet

well and into the large pipes.
