3. Disease Management

Golf Course Advisory Board Regular Meeting · 2026-05-11 · agenda_item

The City of Winter Park's Golf Course Advisory Board is planning a new disease management strategy for the golf course. This strategy will focus on preventing and treating root pathogens that are causing decline. The plan includes using specific systemic fungicides and applying them with irrigation to reach the root zone. A comprehensive root rot prevention program is also proposed, starting in late summer and continuing into the fall. This program will combine fungicide applications with good cultural practices. The strategy is currently under review and further discussion is recommended in the coming weeks. This project could involve site preparation, specialized chemical applications, and ongoing maintenance services. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in landscaping, pest control, and specialized chemical application could find opportunities by engaging early before final plans and permits are established.
