1st Green

Golf in Durban's coastal humidity means managing moisture on greens, salt-spray effects on equipment, and the timing around the Indian Ocean's influence on wind patterns. 1st Green maintains playable conditions year-round by understanding how KZN's subtropical climate demands different maintenance schedules than inland courses. The greens require consistent aeration and drainage work during the summer rainfall season, while fairways need strategic irrigation management when dry spells hit. Course conditioning here isn't just mowing and watering—it's reading local weather patterns, soil composition specific to the Durban area, and adapting turf care to what actually works in this province's conditions.
