| Question: | "We have a noise ordinance in our community that prevents us from operating gas-powered equipment prior to 7:00 a.m. The golf course opens for play at sunrise, which means the course is covered with golfers by the time we are able to start the crew and mow the greens. It takes us twice as long as most courses just to set up the course. Do you have any suggestions for dealing with this situation?" |

| Answer/Response: | "One option is to look at battery-powered electric equipment such as greens mowers and bunker rakes that are quieter than most gas-powered equipment. This would allow you to start prior to 7:00 a.m. without disturbing the neighbors. You may also need to do some creative new scheduling such as mowing tees, fairways, and rough in the afternoon and early evening so that fewer activities are performed first thing in the morning. Also, take the time to meet your neighbors on the golf course and discuss your situation. You may find that residents are enthusiastic golfers and can help you get a variance to the noise ordinance." |
