CARE PLAN FOR THE AREA
Lübker Golf Resort is built on 197 hectares of Djursland’s most beautiful countryside. Major efforts to clean and excavate ponds have considerably improved the living conditions for three endangered amphibian species: the common spade foot toad, the crested newt and the sharp-nosed frog.
As an added bonus, botanists have found several rare species of orchids in very large numbers in the river valley that runs through Lübker Golf Resort®. The orchids are being protected and cared for, so they can be enjoyed by all guests in the future.
In close collaboration with the authorities, the Danish Society for Nature Conservation and leading experts, a plan has been prepared detailing how the landscape should best be cared for in future throughout the entire resort area. The preservation plan is registered as an easement under private law on the property, which will ensure that the landscape in Lübker Golf Resort® will remain unique in the future. Moreover, environmental statements are submitted each year.
Putting greens manicured by han to create tournament playing surfaces
The turf on Lübker Golf Course is specially selected by Robert Trent Jones II in partnership with Turfgrass Consultancy. Thus the turf fulfils the needs required as far as maintenance and playability are concerned. This means that Lübker Golf Club offers very fast greens, level tee offs and closely mown fairways of a high international standard – even during the early and late part of the season. The machinery required to maintain the course is produced by Toro, the internationally acknowledged manufacturer of golf course machinery. The maintenance scheme includes: hand mown greens and tees and fairways cut with lightweight fairway mowers that also collect the cut grass.
