What Is the Difference in Lighting in Different Areas of a Golf Course

March 09,2022

With the continuous improvement of the quality of life, golf, as a gentleman's sport, is more and more popular among people, but many people do not know much about golf's professional knowledge. In this blog we will mainly discuss the standards, recommended values or lighting requirements for golf course lighting, let's take a look!

The difference of lighting brightness in different areas

First of all, we deduce the recommended illuminance value of lighting for a golf course based on the data of most golf courses for lighting equipment:

✔️Illumination of hitting area:

(1) Horizontal illuminance in the hitting area: The average horizontal illuminance value in the hitting area of the main stick should be above 150Lx;

(2) Vertical illuminance of hitting area within 30m height:

A.The average vertical illuminance behind the main pole area should be above 100Lx;

B.The average vertical illuminance at 100m in front of the hitting area should be above 300Lx;

C.The average vertical illuminance at 200m in front of the hitting area should be above 150Lx.

✔️Channel illumination:

In the total length of the passage, whether it is horizontal or vertical illumination, it is necessary to provide good lighting conditions for this rolling hilly area. The required average horizontal illuminance should be above 120Lx. The average vertical illuminance should be above 50Lx. The vertical illuminance is the average vertical illuminance on a cross-section of an effective width within a vertical height of 30 m on the channel.

✔️Illumination in putter green area：

The putter green area (callaway ft-iq driver) should also have adequate lighting. Also, human shadows created by the batter due to hitting the ball from multiple directions in the area should be minimized. The average horizontal illuminance in this area should be above 250Lx.

To sum up

From the standard values of the above major courses, we can summarize the design requirements of a golf course lighting:

1️⃣Strike area lighting. Behind the main club hitting area (cleveland wedges), light poles should be installed at least 5m away from the hitting area. Use lamps with wide light distribution to make the hitting area have enough diffused light. At the same time, the lamps and lanterns are also considered for decentralized installation. In order to reduce or avoid the batter's shadow in the hitting area.

2️⃣The lighting equipment here allows sufficient vertical lighting directly in front of the hitting area. Therefore, most of the lights have to be cast far ahead. Make the flight path of the shot and the hit area have sufficient illumination. It enables the batter to follow the ball's flight area and landing range with sight.

3️⃣The arrangement of light poles and lamps should also consider sufficient horizontal illumination and uniformity. Minimize excessive light and dark changes in illumination.

4️⃣The installation of lamps and the direction of light projection should make the direction of lamps and projection light on the main channel follow the direction of the batter's line of sight to avoid strong direct glare in the reverse direction. Lamps on adjacent channels should prevent their direct light from becoming the direct glare of each other.
