Site work for a golf course in Santa Barbara, California. Conceptual plans call for site work for a golf course.

Irrigation effectiveness impacts the amount of water a golf course consumes, the quality of the playing surface, the cost of water, and labor management requirements. This project is to allocate funding to increase the effectiveness of existing irrigation design to provide more flexibility and further optimize the use of potable water. Ninety percent of the water used at the golf course is recycled, and this project is an attempt to continue to increase that percentage. The Golf Fund has allocated significant funds over the last few years to completing cost effective improvements and commissioned designs for future infrastructure upgrades, including most recently the replacement of critical recycled water backflow systems in FY 2020. In FY 2016, an irrigation upgrade plan was completed for eight greens. All but eight remaining greens currently irrigate with potable water, while a separate sprinkler irrigates the surrounds with recycled water. Plans to convert the remaining greens were completed in FY 2018. The project is included in the City's 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of October 06, 2025, further details have not yet been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change.
