BEGA Connect at the Gut Neuenhof Golf Club, Fröndenberg

Smart control for golf training lighting

The ambience of the Gut Neuenhof Golf Club in Fröndenberg is characterised by the centuries-long history of the estate and the attractiveness of a modern sports facility. The small town in North Rhine-Westphalia is situated and the transition from the Ruhr region – the former coal and steel centre of Germany – to the more rural regions of Sauerland and Soester Börde. The Haarstrang mountain range dominates the village and also influences the topography of the golf course.

The focal point of the area is the Neuenhof estate, which was first mentioned in the annals of the former Mark County in 1486. Today’s manor house was built in 1871 and then extensively renovated in 1967. A premium golf course was formed on the estate since 1995, offering attractive handicaps for more or less established golfers as well as for pros. Amateurs and beginners certainly also get their money’s worth at this course that combines a sports challenge with beautiful natural surroundings. Aside from the club house and the very modern golf hotel, the putting range offers plenty of space to warm up or train before heading onto the 18-hole course. At dusk and at night, the training areas are well lit by BEGA high-performance floodlights.

The professional BEGA Connect light control system ensures reliable illumination and control for the pole-top floodlights. The golf club benefits from the responsible and economical use of energy, and from the flexibility of the lighting provided for golfers and for the facility’s security. Golfers can request light via a simple pushbutton. The light begins to dim after a preset time to signal an imminent switch-off, unless the button is pressed again. BEGA Connect also defines daily start and end times for the use of the training facilities – using timers or twilight sensors where applicable.

Optionally, light management can be hosted online in the cloud using the BEGA Air Connector without any need for a local Internet connection.
