Golf Course Retrofit & Irrigation Installation
At Corbett Irrigation, we specialize in golf course retrofit and irrigation system upgrades that improve water efficiency, turf health, and long-term performance through smart water management and precise automation.
Professional Golf Irrigation Systems for Course Performance
Many golf courses operate with aging irrigation systems, leading to uneven coverage, water waste, and high maintenance costs. A well-designed golf course irrigation system ensures greens, fairways, trees, and turf receive the right amount of water without runoff, oversaturation, or dry spots.
At Corbett Irrigation, we start with a detailed site evaluation that reviews terrain, soil conditions, elevation changes, water pressure, plant requirements, and available water sources, including lakes, wells, rainwater harvesting, or multi-source irrigation. This helps determine whether a golf course retrofit, system upgrade, or targeted improvements will deliver the best long-term performance.
From there, we design golf irrigation systems that integrate surface sprinklers, subsurface drip emitters, smart sensors, and automated controls to ensure precise water management throughout the course. Our irrigation solutions can integrate seamlessly into golf course renovation or improvement projects, helping course managers maintain consistent turf health while improving water efficiency and system reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know Before Starting a Golf Course Retrofit or Irrigation Installation Project
What is the life expectancy of a golf course irrigation system?
The life expectancy of a typical irrigation system ranges from 10 to 30 years depending on the course location, system demands, and maintenance schedule. Routine sprinkler checks and preventative maintenance can help extend system longevity.
Can you integrate existing ponds/lakes with your irrigation system?
In many cases, we can integrate existing ponds or lakes into a golf course irrigation system. This depends on the location of the water source, elevation changes, and terrain conditions.
Do you provide system retrofits or renovations to save water on existing systems?
Yes. A golf course retrofit can significantly improve efficiency. Replacing outdated controllers with smart controllers and modern irrigation technology can reduce water use while improving system scheduling and coverage.
How can I prevent damaged sprinkler heads?
During installation or golf course retrofit projects, our team carefully positions sprinkler heads to reduce the risk of damage while maintaining proper coverage. Our maintenance service programs also include scheduled inspections and cleaning to ensure components operate correctly.
Can a golf course retrofit improve water efficiency on older irrigation systems?
Yes. A golf course retrofit can improve water efficiency by upgrading outdated components with smart controls, sensors, and better golf course irrigation technology.
Do golf course retrofit or golf course renovation services disrupt daily course operations?
Most golf course retrofit or golf course renovation services are planned in phases to reduce disruption. This allows golf course irrigation upgrades to be completed with minimal impact.
