After all, the image of lush heathland adorns many a tourist advertisement that attracts guests to Sylt or other islands on the German coast. The reality is different: Heather restoration is not easy; it has its pitfalls. <strong>GC Sylt and GC F\u00f6hr<\/strong> have plenty of experience with this issue. Both traditional clubs have already undergone a golf course renovation.<br \/>\nAfter an initial redesign in 2015, a further renovation was completed at GC F\u00f6hr in 2022. The specifications of the accompanying landscape conservation plan were precise: the 27-hole course was to be given significantly more species-rich areas with plants typical of the island. Nutrient-poor grassland sites and heathland were required. The same applied to GC Sylt, which completed the renovation of ten holes in 2024. Here, too, heathland areas were to be created to reinforce the typical landscape character of the course.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l61zj0zi-313d2b45f6bdca7eacfb05afbe21830b\">\n.avia-image-container.av-l61zj0zi-313d2b45f6bdca7eacfb05afbe21830b img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-l61zj0zi-313d2b45f6bdca7eacfb05afbe21830b .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-l61zj0zi-313d2b45f6bdca7eacfb05afbe21830b av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  av-has-copyright av-copyright-always'  ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-28403 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-28403 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241006_114654-225x300.jpg\" alt='A person checks an area of heather seedlings.' title='Heather seedlings'  height=\"300\" width=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241006_114654-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241006_114654-773x1030.jpg 773w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241006_114654-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241006_114654-scaled.jpg 924w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241006_114654-529x705.jpg 529w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/div><small class=\"avia-copyright\">President Spie\u00df checks an area with heather seedlings.

Both approaches have their advantages and disadvantages, which must be weighed up depending on the objective and site conditions. In the case of planting, heather plants are planted at predetermined locations. The plants are usually pre-grown in nurseries and then distributed over the area. The advantage is that the greening of the areas is quicker, and the plants are not as susceptible. &#8220;But then it&#8217;s not really genuine heather restoration,&#8221; points out <strong>Rolf-Stephan Hansen<\/strong>, board member of GC Sylt and landscape architect.<br \/>\nTraditional seed transfer, on the other hand, promotes natural regeneration. Seed is harvested from existing heathland areas and transferred to the selected areas. This seed often contains seeds of different heather species and companion plants, which promotes genetic diversity. The plants grow under local conditions from the outset and are often more resistant in the long term. However, the full development of the vegetation can take years to decades. Environmental factors such as precipitation, temperature or competition from other plants have a strong influence on success. Soil preparation is also often necessary for germination, for example by flattening or removing turf.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-49c9lqk-549fb457f52397db472000696c53a1d2\">\n@keyframes av_boxShadowEffect_av-49c9lqk-549fb457f52397db472000696c53a1d2-column {\n0%   { box-shadow:  0 0 0 0 #ededed;

says <strong>Rolf-Stephan Hansen<\/strong> looking back. Weeds, grasses and flowers were mixed in with all the seedlings from the Braderup Heath that had been sown as seed at GC Sylt. &#8220;Heather restoration then becomes very difficult because you have to ensure by hand that the vegetation doesn&#8217;t get out of hand,&#8221; says Hansen. At GC Sylt, the heathland had no chance of survival. Instead, the areas were transformed into species-rich meadows with seed mixtures from the region, which have developed very well. Since only mixtures for perennial plants were used, their value for biodiversity on the golf course is very high.<br \/>\nAt GC F\u00f6hr, the heather establishment has worked better, at least in parts. However, President <strong>Ingomar Spie\u00df<\/strong>, himself a biologist, painstakingly cleared the areas of foreign vegetation, in some cases with the help of members. He wants to start another attempt in 2025 on some areas where the heather was unable to establish itself.<\/p>\n<div hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/ecj-reprimands-germany-protection-for-meadows\/\" class='avia-iframe-wrap'>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"xFxfJpvLA4\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/ecj-reprimands-germany-protection-for-meadows\/\">ECJ reprimands Germany: More protection for flowering meadows<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;ECJ reprimands Germany: More protection for flowering meadows&#8221; &#8212; Golf Sustainable\" src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/ecj-reprimands-germany-protection-for-meadows\/embed\/#?secret=ZNJL8DciAa#?secret=xFxfJpvLA4\" data-secret=\"xFxfJpvLA4\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>The importance of maintaining extensive areas, in general, can also be clearly seen on the grounds of GC F\u00f6hr. The large areas beyond the tees and greens, often identified by golfers as untended natural areas, are quickly overgrown by plants that are particularly fast-growing or dominant. &#8220;The gorse has to be removed in many places,&#8221; Spie\u00df has now realized. According to him, it is the main challenge for the greenkeeping team. Particularly in winter, rows of gorse bushes are removed, as the plant competes with heather or regional grasses in some areas. Weeping cherry and ragwort, both unpopular plants on golf courses, are also trying to assert themselves.<br \/>\nHowever, GC F\u00f6hr is determined to persevere with the heather issue. A total area of 25,000 square meters was planted with heather, some of which came from the North Sea island of Amrum and some from the L\u00fcneburg Heath. &#8220;2023 was an extremely dry year, and strong easterly winds also made establishment more difficult,&#8221; recalls Spie\u00df. A golf course is nature, and nature is increasingly unpredictable.<\/p>\n<div hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/mulching-reduces-biodiversity\/\" class='avia-iframe-wrap'>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"RsyPK9UMeZ\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/mulching-reduces-biodiversity\/\">Red card for mulching<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Red card for mulching&#8221; &#8212; Golf Sustainable\" src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/mulching-reduces-biodiversity\/embed\/#?secret=W4dWfUo0hX#?secret=RsyPK9UMeZ\" data-secret=\"RsyPK9UMeZ\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28401,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[773,277],"tags":[3081,2852,3082,1466,3080],"class_list":["post-28397","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-club-news-en","category-schleswig-holstein","tag-gc-foehr-en","tag-heath-and-golf","tag-renaturation-of-heathland","tag-sylt-en","tag-sylt-and-golf"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Heather on the golf course: beautiful but complicated - Golf Sustainable<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Establishing heathland on the North Sea islands of F\u00f6hr and Sylt is complicated and involves a lot of work.
