The Royal Antwerp Golf Club, one of Belgium's premier golf courses, has chosen Exlterra's GEPS system for its stormwater management needs. As part of its commitment to sustainability, the club recognized that water conservation was a top priority in maintaining its course.
With the GEPS solution, they expect to reduce irrigation by 50%, while simultaneously enhancing the ground's infiltration rate. This will help address longstanding issues with standing water and soggy conditions in various areas of the course, ultimately improving playing conditions.
The installation of the GEPS systems started in November 2024 and will conclude in early 2025, focusing on several problematic fairways. The work is minimally invasive and will not require the course to close, ensuring minimal disruption for golfers.
This exciting collaboration is being managed by Exlterra's new Belgian partner, Greenmix. Led by Dewi Merckx, Greenmix's golf course expertise allows for a seamless oversight of the installation process to ensure a smooth implementation with minimal impact on the course and its players.
