    My Club is researching the idea of putting a fan or two in a valley on one of our fairways. Curious what fans are affordable and efficient? Also, not sure whats available in gas powered because we currently do not have power to the location. Valley of fairway is approximately 15,000 sq. ft. Any suggestions or comments would be much appreciated.

    Thank you,

    I have three of these: http://www.subairsystems.com/The%20TurfBreeze%20Portable.pdf, the 50" variety. They move some serious air, one or two at the most would cover 15k feet. They have the motor mounted inside the fan, and a 20 gallon fuel tank. They'll burn through that 20 gallons in about 24 hours at full throttle.

    Your other primary option that I know of is Precision: http://www.precisionusa.com/storefrontB2BWEB/images/custom/BreezeMasterFans.pdf

    We are converting from bent to bermuda this summer so if you're interested in some used units all the way over here in GA let me know, they have 277, 303, and 306 hours on them, purchased in August 2011 and in great condition.

    Sam,

    Thank you for the feedback. If we decide to proceed with purchasing any used units, I will surely keep you in mind!
