Desert Control completes water-saving pilot at California golf club

Desert Control AS announced the completion of a pilot application of its Liquid Natural Clay (LNC) technology at Wood Ranch Golf Club in Simi Valley, California. The initiative addresses significant challenges faced by Southern California golf courses, including rising water costs and the need for greater sustainability.

Wood Ranch Golf Club's superintendent, Ron Kerley, highlighted the substantial annual irrigation water cost of $800,000, which is currently increasing. The club aims to achieve water and cost savings, as well as environmental stewardship, by replicating the success seen at Woodland Hills Country Club, where LNC demonstrated significant savings.

This pilot expands Desert Control's presence in the California golf sector, reinforcing its strategy to deliver solutions for water conservation and sustainable turf management. Chief executive James Thomas stated that such pilots demonstrate LNC's ability to reduce water consumption, allowing clubs to reinvest savings into course improvements benefiting both players and the environment.
