For more elaborate replacements, the bill could exceed $5 million. Compare that with upgrades that will make the average golfer happy, like hitting the ball out of a new bunker? To successfully pitch a complete replacement, you have to show considerable evidence that the future of the green depends on it. Therefore, after conducting an initial inventory of your current system, it's a good idea to have a list of priorities you could tackle as independent upgrades.   Signs You Need to Replace the Irrigation System By design, golfers remain blissfully unaware of the  golf course irrigation system  that keeps the turf in pristine condition.
