system, which provided unparalleled control over water application. This system allows adjustments down to the second, supports high-speed communication, and offers diagnostics to ensure efficiency. Distributed Lynx Smart Hubs facilitate control across the courses, enabling the operation of up to 250 Lynx Smart Modules per path and reducing the watering window. “The Lynx story goes from strength to strength, and we are delighted to transition Royal County Down from SitePro CDS after many years of reliable and dependable service to our flagship Lynx LSM control with all the associated modern benefits of precision, high speed diagnostics and full mobile access," said Simon Squires, senior sales manager at Toro. Toro Infinity valve-in-head and Flex Series sprinklers were also crucial to the project. The Infinity sprinklers’ fully top-serviceable design minimises future maintenance impacts, allowing access to critical components without disrupting the course. This innovation ensures a longterm reduction in maintenance costs and downtime. The upgraded system has redefined irrigation practices at Royal County Down. Advanced technology now enables the club to irrigate larger areas while using less water and fewer resources. The redesigned sprinkler layout ensures water is only applied where necessary, eliminating waste and optimising course conditions. The main goal of preserving the traditional links conditions while future-proofing the course was achieved. With Toro’s cutting-edge irrigation solutions, Royal County Down continues to be a beacon of excellence, harmonising tradition with innovation and proving that sustainability and quality can go hand in hand.
