Fire in the hole! A little blasting through basalt for a new gravity irrigation line to Pinecrest Golf Course back in 2021. Some parts of the job are more fun than others.

This is one of the most difficult yet rewarding projects I've worked on. The Park at Expo Idaho, designed by PORT consists of eight different planting zones with drastically different irrigation needs. On top of that, we also focused on finish grading and separation of ground water, in which the planting plan was also designed around. High elevations would be dry, which lead to desert conditions and plant materials. Lower elevations could be submerged seasonally during spring runoff and will establish as wetlands. We factored all of this in when tailoring the irrigation system to meet every unique plant water requirement. Strategically placing soil moisture sensors throughout the park to control each irrigation zone based on each planting zones irrigation needs. Using a Baseline Base Manager central control system will allow the end user to easily operate over 400 irrigation zones. This system is large and it's one of a kind, just like The Park.

Having goose problems on your golf course or park? A client of ours is using these kites with great success in keeping geese out of the ponds and off the turf. Apparently they can be found on Amazon, but wind is not included and is required.

Another great project we completed in 2025! I highly suggest you go play it. AND if you go in late June or Early July, you could also go catch a pile of Sockeye Salmon early in the morning before your round. Gamble Sands Resort

Scarecrow at Gamble Sands Resort was just named best new public course of 2025! BDG is proud to have been a small part of this project as the irrigation consultant along side an incredible team lead by Architects David Kidd, Nick Schaan and Director of Agronomy, Josh Truan and the entire team that pulled this off.

The second course at Gamble Sands, called Scarecrow as a tribute to the figures warding off scavengers from the resort’s apple orchards, was designed to be a little more frightening than the original Sands Course that opened in 2014. The first course is rife with thrilling diagonal drives across r...

Golf course or wastewater solution? It’s both.

Meadow Lakes Golf Course uses treated wastewater to irrigate the fairways and fill the ponds you see around the course.

These nine evaporation ponds double as water hazards and water management tools. This system keeps wastewater out of the Crooked River, supports local recreation, and shows how innovative thinking benefits everyone.

It’s no wonder Meadow Lakes has been recognized in national publications and earned Golf Digest’s Environmental Leaders Award.
