The extraordinary transformation of the Royal Sydney Golf Club, a prestigious 18-hole course nestled in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, called for the best in design and infrastructure... and Plasson delivered
“This wasn’t just any irrigation upgrade—it was part of a complete redevelopment of one of Australia’s most iconic golf courses."

Tasked with modernising the course while keeping parts operational, the project team faced tight timelines, coastal soil conditions, restricted site access, infrastructure demands with a 63mm to 90mm upsize in pipe, and the pressure to quickly return the course to keen members.
For Royal Sydney Golf Club Superintendent, Adam Marchant, and irrigation contractor Gosford Irrigation, this meant installing a cost-effective, low maintenance, long-term irrigation system that would provide enhanced environmental benefits to the club such as a 20% reduction in water usage.
Using a Plasson system, they did this with minimal disruption, with the course back in play in way under par, with a 6 week reduction in installation time.
“That’s why we chose Plasson. Their mechanical saddles and electrofusion fittings gave us the flexibility to work efficiently without compromising quality. The bolt-free Plassaddle connections saved Gosford Irrigation weeks on the ground, and the PN16-rated system
gave us confidence that what we were putting in the ground was going to last. Just as important, their team backed us every step of the way with advice, training, and on-the-ground support that helped us stay on track.“
“We only work with products we believe in, and with Plasson, we had total confidence we were getting a solution that matched the calibre of this course.“
