Dom Pedro Golf energy efficiency for better golf courses maintenance

Dom Pedro Golf is strong committed to improve his irrigation system to make it more economically and environmentally efficient.

Dom Pedro Golf has installed a new water collection system from the lakes that, with the exact pressure, allows irrigation of Dom Pedro Golf Courses with a savings of 20 to 30% in energy, in water and also in labor.

The Millennium Golf Course will reduce 30.26 tonnes of CO2, and 87,500KW of energy saving in one year, and the Victoria Golf Course 61.26 tonnes of CO2 and reduce 177,000KW per year. Really impressive numbers that justify the considerable investment.

Energy efficiency will be visible on all golf courses of the Dom Pedro group in proportion to their characteristics.

The work we have done with Grundfos has already shown exceptional results and will ensure our courses are not only in perfect condition all year round, but also increasingly energy efficient and more environmentally friendly.”

Summer in the Algarve, a time of year with high temperatures and no rain at all, makes maintenance of golf courses a huge challenge and often a desperate struggle from the maintenance team to keep the greens looking like a pristine green carpet, that all golfers want to enjoy.

From April 24 to May 26, all the excuses are good to go to the Algarve. The tradition and richness of the Algarvian gastronomie with typical and genuine flavors are celebrated in the 9th edition of the “Rota do Petisco“, an event that, over four weeks, proposes a route for more than 250 of the best restaurants in the region, including in Lagos, Portimão, Silves, Faro and Tavira. A total of 303 restaurants and cafés from 12 counties, will be ready to welcome you with a tasty tapa, a glace of wine and enthusiasm.

To embark on this trip, participants must purchase a Passport (for sale at information points and participating restaurants), at a cost of € 1.50, which totally reverts for different local social projects.
