Redexim Coring equipment proves to be "Quick and Easy" for Knotty Hill Golf Centre
Knotty Hill Golf Centre was founded 24 years ago as a driving range - today it spans 560 acres and comprises three 18 hole courses and 27 holes of football golf! Built by Denis Craggs, the complex is overseen by his son Ashley Craggs, as Proprietor and Head Greenkeeper, and his team of five full time staff

The whole centre is closed once a week for Ashley and the team to conduct maintenance across all the courses - carrying out aeration of the greens once a month. "The lads will go out with the two Verti-Cores and will spike all 54 greens in a day. The guys love them because compared to a lot of the machines on the market they're simple to operate - put them on the tractor and off you go; quick, easy and very fast! The Verti-Cores have delivered fantastic results, our greens have really picked up and are now some of the best in the area."
At around the same time, Ashley also purchased two pedestrian Core Collector 3001HL's. "After you've done the job, you don't want to be driving on the greens with a heavy tractor so these pedestrian models really appealed to us. They're nice and light, and with only five men, it saves them shovelling the cores off 54 greens manually!"
