For a successful season

markilux equips golf clubs with large-scale awning systems

Today, outdoor sports are very popular. Golf is also gaining more and more followers and is now considered a popular sport where you can work up a good sweat in the summer. And that is why, after their round of golf, players enjoy relaxing on the clubhouse patio or terrace of the club restaurant, protected from the heat, wind and rain. Manufacturer markilux has special awnings in its product range that cover large areas for precisely this purpose.

‘For several years now, we have been equipping restaurants, cafés and hotels with our awning systems that combine sun and weather protection,’ says Jan Kattenbeck, head of ‘team : project’. Together with specialist dealers, his team plans and implements projects for contract customers. Last year, the list of customers included golf courses that had decided to weatherproof their outdoor seating areas. These projects included an awning system measuring more than 170 square metres for the restaurant & café in Karlsruhe Golf Park, the ‘genusswerk’. ‘The awning ensemble at ‘Gut Batzenhof’ consists of the ‘pergola’ model, our wind-stable post system, and the ‘syncra’ model. Several awnings can be attached to this at the same time,’ explains Mr Kattenbeck. The awnings create an outdoor dining area that the tenant says is well frequented in all weathers – not only by club members, but also other guests who enjoy the attractive open-air seating area.

Plenty of guests in almost all weathers

The ‘Schloss Vornholz’ golf club in Enningerloh-Ostenfelde, in the Münsterland region of Westphalia, also opted for a comparable system from markilux. The combination of ‘pergola’ and ‘syncra’ covers an area of over 100 square metres. Integrated vertical blinds with panoramic windows provide additional protection from the wind over a length of more than 17 metres, while offering an unobstructed view of the golf course’s parkland. ‘By equipping it with infrared heaters, guests can use the open-air seating area virtually the whole year round. And the LED light strips ensure a cosy atmosphere. These accessories can all have a positive effect on the turnover,’ stresses the awning expert. The facilities also offer the advantage that award ceremonies are possible even in rainy weather and that the outdoor areas can be better used for private functions. ‘And then of course it has to be said that the summers of recent years have been much hotter than they used to be. But many people still prefer to spend their free time outdoors. Club operators or restaurateurs who want to offer their guests the necessary comfort on a terrace are thus happy to create a generous shaded area where people like to spend a considerable amount of time,’ says Jan Kattenbeck. With over 700 golf courses and more than 600,000 golfers throughout the country, he therefore sees plenty of potential for providing individual roofing for clubs’ outdoor seating areas with high-quality awnings.
