The Rotors used on this system include the following:
Rain Bird 751 Series Rotors-
All green, perimeter, approach, and tees will use Rain Bird 751 Series Rotors. Green, perimeter, approach and tee heads will be spaced at roughly 63ft. Green and approach heads will be set as full circle. Perimeter heads will be set as part circle. The majority of tees will be set as full circle but some will be set as part depending on the locations. Although all Rain Bird 751 Series heads will be set as part or full, they will all have the capability of being either depending on the irrigation requirements at that time. This will give the golf course maximum flexibility in watering these areas.
Rain Bird Eagle 900/950 Rotors-
The majority of fairwary heads will use Rain Bird Eagle 900 heads, with a few exceptions of Rain Bird Eagle 950 heads. These heads will be spaced at 75ft.
