NOTTS 'TRIANGLE' COURSES SHARE MACHINERY APPROACH

Three of Nottinghamshire’s top-ranked golf clubs -Coxmoor, Hollinwell and Sherwood Forest - have each reported strong results from their Baroness mower fleets.

The clubs, which all feature in England’s Top 100, run a range of the manufacturer's pedestrian, greens and fairway mowers. Many of the machines have been in service for close to two decades.

Coxmoor course manager, Ben Cumberland, said quality of cut was the deciding factor for his team, with the club now operating four LM56 and four LM66 pedestrian mowers, three LM315’s and two LM551 fairway units.

At Hollinwell, course manager Shaun Bullin highlighted operator comfort and consistency across models. The club’s line-up includes an LM56, LM331, two LM315’s and two LM551 fairway mowers.

Sherwood Forest adopted Baroness equipment during the Covid pandemic, including LM315 and LM551 fairway mowers, plus LM56 and LM66 pedestrian units. Deputy head greenkeeper Keir Taylor praised the build quality and reduced maintenance requirements compared to other brands.

All three clubs acknowledged the aftersales support provided locally by Henton & Chattell and Baroness UK.
