Toro® Now on the Roll Call at St Enodoc Golf Club

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – St Enodoc Golf Club has an impressive roll call. It is the top ranked golf club in Cornwall, sixth in the country according to Golf World, and rated 99th in the world by Golf Digest. Adding to that, they are now a new Toro customer.

Based on that roll call it’s easy to see that this links course, based on the North Cornwall coast overlooking the Camel Estuary, has high standards to maintain. Simon Greatorex, general manager, explains why he and course manager Scott Gibson turned to Toro to help with that.

”As a general manager, I have spent a lot of time with the greenkeepers, and time and time again the preferred machinery choice is Toro,” said Greatorex. “This is almost always down to their opinion on the brand’s reliability, build quality and machine support from the supplier and dealer, in this case Reesink Turfcare and Devon Garden Machinery. I happen to agree with them on all of these points.”

And that’s why the Club has opted for Toro this time, and is in receipt of two Greensmaster® 3400 TriFlex® mowers, a Reelmaster® 5410 and a Reelmaster 3100-D with Sidewinder®, to tend the Club’s greens, surrounds and fairways.

Of these machines, Gibson says it’s the Reelmaster 3100-D that is standing out among the Club’s greenkeeping team of eight. In particular for “its versatility, excellent stability, clean and superior cut, and immaculate presentation,” said Gibson. He goes on to praise all four machines for their ergonomic design.

Plus, there’s the service and support of Reesink Turfcare and Devon Garden Machinery. “We have a long-standing relationship with Devon Garden Machinery who distributes Toro in our area, the service and support we get from them is second to none,” said Gibson. “And Reesink has made the whole process very straight forward, from the advice on the type of equipment we needed to purchase, to the many options that were open to us to finance the fleet, it has been nothing but easy.”

So why has St Enodoc opted for Toro now? Greatorex explains: “The Club has an ongoing course improvement plan, plus the drive to attract some additional events to Cornwall. We already host the South West Ladies Match Week in July for Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, and in 2019 we will be hosting the English Senior Women’s Amateur Strokeplay Championship. With Toro on board, we feel we stand in good stead for expanding this roll-call even further.”
