Data from multispectral remote sensing drones provide essential feedback on the health of a golf course. Multispectral sensor data can detect problems from pests, disease, invasive weeds and stress to greens, fairways, rough, shrubs and trees long before the naked eye will notice.

Golf Course Multispectral Remote Sensing Data

Here are some of the benefits of using drones in the upkeep of any golf course using both multispectral sensors and straight forward aerial cameras;

  • Multispectral data will identify pests, disease and invasive weeds. This allows the Maintenance Team to optimize pesticide usage and crop sprays through early detection.

  • Provide essential data on soil fertility allowing for the best use of fertilization by detecting nutrient deficiencies.

  • Plant counting and spacing. Determine if a species is starting to over populate the golf course.

  • Plant height and biomass measurements.

  • Measure irrigation to properly identify areas of the golf course where water stress or drainage is not working correctly. This allows for improvements to the irrigation, drainage systems and waterways.

  • View damage by machinery not working correctly in the cutting of fairways.

  • Surveying the golf course after storms to quickly view whether the course is playable. Also to access if there is damage to trees which would need to be repaired or removed.

  • Survey fencing and buildings.

  1. professional Golf Course aerial videos for marketing.

  2. Another type of aerial video is the interactive hole by hole drone video.

  3. This can also be used to promote the golf course and assist existing members to study and read the golf course better.

  4. All golf courses have a wide variety of grass, flowers, fauna, shrubs and trees. The health of these plants and vegetation is very important to the beauty of the course.

  5. early detection of stress to greens, fairways, shrubs and trees allowing Maintenance teams to take the correct and necessary action.

Early morning golf course flyovers will allow maintenance teams to survey and evaluate all aspects of the golf course and get the full picture quickly. This allows teams to respond quickly if there are any aspects of the course which require urgent attention.
