Coastal conditions

Magenta Shores Country Club, located on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia, is an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Ross Watson. Opened in 2006, the course is renowned for its links-style layout and stunning coastal views. However, its location between the Pacific Ocean and Tuggerah Lake presented unique irrigation challenges, particularly in managing salt exposure and variable weather conditions.

Magenta Shores Country Club approached Cisgenics with a range of critical issues affecting the course’s quality. These included inconsistent water distribution due to coastal winds and varied topography, high water consumption during dry periods, conflict with local conservation efforts, and saltwater intrusion affecting turf quality, especially on holes closest to the ocean.

Implementing Cisgenics’ irrigation control solution at Magenta Shores Country Club demonstrates the effectiveness of smart irrigation technology in addressing the unique challenges faced by coastal golf courses in Australia.
