For a successful playing season: large-scale awning systems for golf clubs

The markilux team : project advises and supports business customers who wish to equip their outdoor areas with large-scale sun and weather protection solutions. In order to meet individual wishes and requirements, our product range offers special awnings for large areas. In addition to the focus on sun protection, a further focus is on wind and rain protection.

The restaurant & café in the Golfpark Karlsruhe, the "genusswerk", has decided to make its outdoor seating more weatherproof. An awning system covering more than 170 square metres has been installed here. This is not only an extension of the dining area to the outdoors, but also provides greater planning security with regard to the usability of the terrace. The outdoor dining area created in this way is a magnet for visitors and, according to the tenant, attracts guests regardless of the weather.

The restaurateur is particularly pleased that the terrace is not only well received by club members. Other guests also appreciate the attractive terrace area. Whether in sunshine or light rain - the awning ensemble consisting of the markilux pergola classic and markilux syncra models provides the protection that guests need. This makes a stay at the "genusswerk" a beautiful experience in almost any weather and promises relaxation with the view of the extensive golf course.

The "Schloss Vornholz" golf club in Enningerloh-Ostenfelde, in the Münsterland region of Westphalia, opted for a similar system from markilux. The combination of markilux pergola classic and markilux syncra shades an area of a good 100 square metres. Integrated vertical awnings with panorama windows provide additional wind protection over a length of more than 17 metres, while offering an unobstructed view of the golf course's parkland. Thus, the outdoor area of the golf club remains a safe place to entertain guests even in uncomfortable weather conditions and in autumn or spring.

To complement the windbreak, the awning system was equipped with radiant heaters so that even cold weather is no reason not to use the terrace. Thanks to the radiant heaters and LED light strips, a cosy and comfortable atmosphere is created, extending the useful life of the terrace. Additional equipment that complements the awning can accordingly have a positive effect on sales.

The markilux team : project has already advised several golf courses on high-quality sun protection. Together with the operators, the situation on site was analysed in order to get an initial idea of the conditions and requirements. Based on the appointment, the markilux team : project has developed practical solution proposals that are specifically tailored to the respective requirements. Thanks to the individual planning, the areas to be shaded can be optimally utilised.

pergola awnings are suitable for shading large areas. Up to five markilux pergolas can be linked together. With a projection of up to six metres, this awning model casts a wide shade. The sun protection can also be extended with shadeplus so that even the low sun does not dazzle. Due to the robust character of the markilux pergola classic, it has a particularly high stability and wind resistance up to wind force 6. This makes the model particularly suitable for golf courses with a large open area that have special requirements for sun and weather protection. During the golf game, players are already exposed to the sun, wind or rain, so relaxing on the sheltered terrace is the perfect post-game relaxation.

The markilux syncra awning stand system is the perfect complement to the markilux pergola. The freestanding awning provides extensive shade where it is needed - independent of buildings. The markilux syncra offers the optimal sun protection solution when mounting on the façade is not possible or when the awning is to provide shade away from the building. The model is fixed either by anchoring it to the ground or by means of weighting boxes that can also be used as a flower box or bench.

When golf club operators contact the markilux team : project, the primary goal is first of all to find an individual, customised sun protection solution. In the course of planning, further needs often arise, which in many cases can be met with the additional equipment that can be integrated into the awning systems.
