The Drop

North Oaks Golf Club

In 2022, North Oaks Golf Club — one of the last designs by the great Canadian architect Stanley Thompson — was ready for a total irrigation makeover just as John Cameron returned to become superintendent. The club was committed to a new system and largely left it to Cameron to sort out which system and pump station technology would be best for their 70-year-old course. In the end, the Minnesota club went with Cameron’s recommendation and installed the Rain Bird® CirrusPRO™ system and a Rain Bird pump station. Why? It all came down to quality rotors, simple programming, seamless integration, and the ability to deliver consistently great conditions.
