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.
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.
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.
Since the appearance of the Covid 19 virus, we have all seen our lives and livelihoods upended to some extent. As a golf course maintenance contractor with clients across the country, IGM has seen every course challenged in its own way. While some golf courses remained open, with new safety protocols, others closed according to area regulations. Now that parts of the Country have begun opening again, we are all facing a new normal.
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.
In early 2019, the opportunity arose for IGM, Reflection Bay’s maintenance contractor, to build a golfing practice facility on a nearby green space in the Lake Las Vegas community. The new practice facility was designed to renovate four remaining holes from the former course (The Falls) to create a driving range, along with practice holes, greens, and bunkers.
IGM has expertise working in various regions, terrains, and climate conditions. We know Florida’s hurricanes, Massachusetts’ harsh winters, and California’s droughts. We understand how vital it is for golf courses to be at peak playing conditions for tournaments and financial viability.
IGM’s renovation of Sebastian Municipal Golf Course is on pace for 18 holes of new grass to be open in November! Working nine holes at a time, Superintendent Chris Eckart is overseeing a complete regrading, replanting, and fertilizing project at the course.
