All of these Irish-based operators needed a machine that would increase productivity, deliver exceptional cut quality in a range of weather conditions and free up valuable time to be used on other areas of their courses. Find out how the Trimax Snake provided these benefits.
Across multiple golf courses, from Ireland to New Zealand, the Trimax Snake has been hailed as a transformative addition to greenkeeping fleets. Course managers and greenkeepers from top golf clubs share their stories, offering insights into how the Snake has improved productivity, saved time, and delivered exceptional cut quality. Here’s what they had to say:
“Unmatched Cut Quality and Efficiency”
Ryan Cusdin, the course manager of Cliftonville Golf Club, recalls how the decision to switch from a dedicated ride-on mower to the Trimax Snake was a turning point. “We went from using a ride-on mower and haven’t looked back. The quality of the cut is second to none, and it’s impossible to imagine going back to the old machine,” he says. The Snake, according to Ryan, cuts down mowing time considerably and enhances the presentation with clean stripes and a flawless finish.
At Helens Bay Golf Club, head greenkeeper Damian Beattie highlights the Snake’s time-saving capabilities: “We used to spend days cutting rough, but now it’s done in less than a day. It’s saved us fuel, man-hours, and maintenance costs.” These efficiency gains have allowed Damian’s team to focus on other critical tasks across the course.
A Day's Work Freed for Course Maintenance
For many course managers, the time-saving aspect of the Trimax Snake stands out. Before getting the Snake, Ryan Cusdin explains that rough cutting at Cliftonville took two days. “Now, with the Snake, we’re cutting the entire rough and semi-rough areas in less than a day. The time saved is massive, allowing us to focus on other playing surfaces like greens, bunkers, and fairways.”
Brian Dunne, superintendent of Adare Manor Golf Club in Limerick, Ireland, praises the Snake for its agility in navigating the heavily wooded course. “It’s so easy to manoeuvre around the trees,” Brian notes, adding that the machine has helped them get the job done faster while maintaining precision.
Similarly, David Grant, grounds manager for SETU Arena in Waterford, highlights how the Snake allows his team to focus on other essential maintenance tasks. “The main benefit was the time saved. We weren’t getting to other jobs with our previous mower, but with the Snake, we can cut a pitch in under 50 minutes. For a site with six pitches, that time saving adds up quickly when you’re doing it three times a week.”
Reductions in Fuel, Maintenance, and Costs
Course managers also report significant reductions in fuel costs, maintenance, and man-hours after introducing the Snake to their equipment fleet. “The dedicated ride-on mower used to need extra cleanup with a blower, but with the Snake, there’s no need,” says Damian Beattie. “It’s just an all-round saving, both in time and fuel costs.”
John Burrows, course manager at Balmoral Golf Club, agrees. “Before the Snake, it took three days and extra manpower to cut the rough with self-contained units. Now we’ve reduced the job to two days, saving both time and manpower.”
Impressive Performance in Wet and Challenging Conditions
Several greenkeepers emphasize the Snake’s ability to maintain top performance even in challenging conditions. Paul Revill, golf course manager at Royal Belfast Golf Club, shares how the Snake delivered an excellent cut on a particularly wet day. “Within an hour and a half of using the Trimax on long, wet grass, the finish was impeccable. We were sold straight away.”
Tadgh Cremin, a greenkeeper at Charleville Golf Club, echoes this sentiment, noting that the Snake delivered the same high-quality cut regardless of weather conditions. “Whether it was wet or dry, the Snake performed the same. We have yet to find an area it can’t handle.”
Maintenance-Free Features for Long-Term Value
Beyond efficiency and performance, many course managers appreciate the Snake’s low-maintenance design. Paul Revill emphasizes that the machine requires minimal upkeep, “It’s maintenance-free, with no sharpening required. We just replace the blades once every two years, and the rest of the machine is simple and reliable.”
David Grant also praises the straightforward design of the Snake, calling it “a simple machine with few parts to break down.” Regular greasing is all that’s needed to keep the machine in top condition, ensuring it continues to deliver optimal performance with minimal downtime.
A Trusted Tool for Golf Courses Around the World
From large-scale golf resorts to local clubs, the Trimax Snake has become an essential tool in delivering top-quality results with maximum efficiency. Its time-saving capabilities, low maintenance, and ability to deliver exceptional cut quality in any conditions have made it a favourite among greenkeepers and course managers alike.
As Gary Kelly from Kelly’s Golf Centre in County Down sums it up, “We were able to cut almost 20 acres in under four hours, compared to the 10 hours it took before. The Snake has truly revolutionized our productivity.”
The feedback from these professionals is clear: the Trimax Snake is more than just a mower—it’s a game-changer for golf courses striving to achieve immaculate results with reduced costs and labour.
