Better Golf Course Management With ILM

Algae, Blog, Invasive Species, Lake & Ponds, Lake Management

A golf course isn’t just turf. Between the water hazards and the wetlands along the back nine, a course holds a half-dozen environments, each falling apart differently. Algae blooms behind the ninth green. Buckthorn creeps into the rough. Sediment builds up under a footbridge until the stream backs up instead of draining the fairway. Most turf crews have mowers and sprayers for the grass. Few have the amphibious equipment, divers, or dredging tools for the water. We work so every part of the course holds up, not just what in bounds.

ILM cares for the full environment, season by season. We work with private clubs, municipal courses, and park districts across Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana.

Get Ahead of Spring, Starting This Fall

These four steps are designed to take the guesswork out of what your lake or pond will look like when spring arrives. Waiting until the thaw means reacting to algae, erosion, and drainage problems that are already underway; addressing them now means walking into the growing season prepared.
