Within the golf industry, St Andrews Links is known as The Home of Golf. This is where it all started over 600 years ago. The staff members at St Andrews Links view themselves as caretakers: they maintain this important piece of land for future generations of golfers to enjoy and preserve its history and heritage for the people of the town of St Andrews.
Toro has been providing turf equipment to the courses at St Andrews for many decades, but in 1998, St Andrews Links Trust chose The Toro Company to be their preferred supplier of turf and irrigation systems for all their courses. This formally cemented the partnership.
The first major project was the renovation of their irrigation system and the installation of the Site Pro control system in time for The Open Championship in 2000. Since then, Toro has continued to supply the latest turf maintenance equipment to ensure that all seven courses in the care of the St Andrews Links Trust are maintained daily to the highest standards. This keeps every hole at its best for both the golfers who play their once-in-a-lifetime round at the home of golf, and for the championship events—such as The Open—that take place on The Old Course.
