There are several potential areas of risk for legionella infection within golf course premises.
The club house facilities include similar hot and cold water systems to others in the leisure industry (such as hotels and gyms). The potential legionella hotspots in these types of buildings tends to be taps, showers, storage tanks and air conditioning systems.
The additional risk factor with golf courses is that they include irrigation / sprinkler systems to keep the turf grass in good health. Water from sprinkler systems can aerolise and travel considerable distances. This is why it is important to try and maintain irrigation systems and monitor them for bacteria buildup.
Factors that can increase the likelihood of legionella growth in irrigation systems:
- Biofilm build up from stagnation in the system
- Temperature ideal for legionella growth -tanks and other parts of system potentially exposed to direct sunlight
- Water source – often recycled water is used
