The wave of new technology that has arrived on the golf scene in the last few years has really significantly altered the way the game has been played and enjoyed, as well as the way courses have been maintained.

New computer irrigation has been employed to allow for better course quality and to keep them open throughout the year. An example of this high-tech system can be found at Trethorne Golf Club, where the course is available for virtually uninterrupted year-round playability thanks to its modern irrigation devices.

With some testing greens, tricky hazards and undulating fairways it really is a sound test of golf no matter how good a player you may be.
