As the country veers from droughts and fires to massive storms and flooding, the golf industry faces greater pressure to implement water conservation measures and sustainable water usage plans for golf courses in all climates. One of IGM’s founding priorities is to be a leader in environmental stewardship for golf course maintenance.
In 2023, IGM undertook a greens’ resurfacing project at Reflection Bay Golf Club in Henderson, Nevada, over a three-and-a-half-month period. In addition to upgrading the members’ golf experience, the renovation was part of an overall water conservation effort that included eliminating the need to overseed the fairways each winter. Combined, those adjustments have saved more than 15 million gallons of water annually.
International Golf Maintenance (IGM) is proud to have been named in the National Golf Foundation’s (NGF) Top 100 Businesses in Golf. NGF states the list recognizes “the most successful, prominent, influential, successful and innovative companies in the U.S. golf industry.” The Top 100 list focuses on businesses that provide products or services that support recreational golf in various categories.
Reflection Bay golf course in Henderson, Nevada, is getting great reviews from golfers following significant renovations. With an aggressive timeline, from May 30 – September 15, 2023, IGM resurfaced all greens, as well as fully renovated two practice greens to USGA specifications.
Kings Point’s Executive Golf Course has long been known for its beautiful scenery and challenging conditions for golfers at all skill levels. Vesta Property Services and the Kings Point Recreation Corp. Board of Directors wanted to keep it that way and authorized IGM to oversee a full renovation of the course.
International Golf Maintenance (IGM) has worked day and night since signing an agreement to restore Rose Hill Golf Club, by taking on all golf course maintenance and golf operations. IGM Regional Manager Tyler Minamyer has seized the opportunity to build an exceptional team, make the golf course the best it can be, and achieve the goals of the Rose Hill Property Owners Association (POA).
In February 2021, IGM began the first of a five-year contract with Country Club of Culpeper, VA. One of the country’s leading golf course maintenance providers, IGM partners with the management of its client golf courses to achieve goals for healthy turf, playability, and budget. While agronomic progress has been made, the Club is already seeing results in membership.
IGM is well known in the golf course maintenance industry, but we enjoy having opportunities to expand our services to benefit our communities. A perfect example is IGM’s relationship with the Bear Valley Springs Association. IGM’s golf course crew maintains the BVSA Oak Tree Golf Course, plus we employ a grounds crew to maintain landscaping, parks, and other amenities within the Association’s community. Most recently, it was all hands-on deck to complete a top-quality baseball field.
IGM is known in the golf course maintenance industry for its environmentally sensitive approach to achieving healthy, attractive turf and landscaping. Recently, the company installed new soil sensors, SP-110’s by Spiio, at Lake of the Woods golf course in Locust Grove, Virginia. The sensors monitor moisture, temperature, salinity, and sunlight reaching the course turf.
Enjoying hard work outdoors is typically the first response to the question of “why work on a golf course?” However, other benefits are as diverse as the golf courses themselves. As a leading golf course maintenance contractor, IGM offers job opportunities at courses across the country.
