Heavy rainfall and living soils: Golf Sainte Baume’s commitment to exceptional playing quality
At Golf Sainte Baume, periods of heavy rain put the natural balance of the course to the test.
Saturated soil, weakened roots, fungal diseases, and compaction can affect the quality of the turf and the comfort of play. Thanks to careful management, appropriate landscaping, and the expertise of the Resonance Golf Collection network of professionals, the club is taking action to protect sensitive areas, promote soil regeneration, and sustainably preserve dense, healthy, and resilient turf.
Preserving ancient trees at Golf Sainte Baume
At Golf Sainte Baume, preserving aging, hollow, or dead trees in non-playing areas is essential for biodiversity.
These trees provide shelter for birds, bats, insects, and fungi. When safety permits, they are preserved to maintain the ecological cycle and protect local species.
Preserving the quality of the greens: a rational and sustainable approach at Golf Sainte Baume
In October 2025, Golf Sainte Baume decided not to carry out traditional aeration of the greens. Thanks to the mechanical interventions already carried out and a rigorous selection of materials, the greens are in excellent health, with deep roots and dense turf. Sudden drops in temperature could compromise conventional aeration, hence the decision to favor a gentle approach.
Instead, targeted scarification of 10 cm will be carried out to promote soil moisture, eliminate thatch, and stimulate healthy regrowth. This light intervention respects the course's ecosystem and is part of our sustainable and responsible management approach.
As a result, players will enjoy optimal, healthy, and consistent greens, while preserving the biodiversity and natural balance of Golf Sainte Baume.
