Energy Costs Are Rising: Save with Smarter Golf Course Fans
As energy prices continue to rise, managing operational expenses has never been more important for golf courses. According to the USGA, the average cost to operate a fan is $60 per horsepower (HP) per month, which means a 5 HP fan costs $300 per month.* For golf courses with multiple fans, these expenses add up quickly, impacting both your budget and long-term sustainability.
Energy Efficiency with Performance Fans
Performance Fans offer a smarter, more energy-efficient solution. Equipped with advanced 1 HP motors, our golf course fans deliver the same powerful airflow as traditional 5 HP fans—but at a fraction of the cost. This reduction in energy consumption doesn’t just save money; it also promotes a more sustainable approach to turf management.
By switching to Performance Fans, a golf course operating 30 fans could save $360,000 in energy costs over 10 years. That’s real money you can reinvest in improving greens cooling, upgrading facilities, or supporting other operational needs.
