SA golf scores with new partnership

South African golf courses will now have access to a new integrated landscaping and golf course maintenance solution, with the Life Green Group (LGG) announcing its partnership with Mark Wiltshire Golf (MWG) and which brings a combined 30 years of experience to the market.

The country’s golf courses will now be able to benefit from sustainable and high-quality landscaping and maintenance services in a partnership that pools the collective experience and skills of two of the foremost companies in their respective fields.

“There is a common belief that landscaping and course maintenance are the same thing. This cannot be further from the truth. Each discipline requires a different skillset, operating procedures and equipment,” said Mark Wiltshire, Director of MWG.

“MWG embraces environmentally friendly practices, which is the future of golf courses. And we are excited to draw on the expertise of LGG to take this even further,” said Wiltshire.

The relationship between Life Green Group and Mark Wiltshire Golf stemmed from their involvement at Pecanwood Golf and Country Estate. LGG managed the residential and estate landscaping and MWG the golf course maintenance. Although they shared the workspace, the parties managed their portfolios independently. Both jumped at the chance to combine their expertise to offer an integrated landscaping and golf course maintenance solution to the market.

With a combined experience of over 30 years in landscaping, golf and estate living, LGG and MWG have developed workable and realistic landscaping solutions for many of their clients with great success. They also work closely together to assist corporate clients with design, construction, installation and on-site management solutions for golf clubs, golf resorts and golf estates.

The team is dedicated to environmental responsibility at all of their sites and works hard to ensure that all chemicals used are safe for the environment.

Charles Marais, CEO of Life Green Group, said: “We believe our partnership with MWG is a great opportunity, bringing the professionalism and world-class results that the market requires. We are like-minded individuals who are able to deliver the best in our specific industry segments, offering only the best to our clients. With our values aligned, both LGG and MWG are committed to building a sustainable future by offering practical, integrated environmental solutions that enhance the natural environment and reduce our carbon footprint.”
