Morley Hayes Golf Club maintains a heavily tree-lined course, requiring equipment that can manoeuvre effortlessly through tight areas and deliver a high-quality, consistent cut. Head Greenkeeper Alex Roberts needed a mower that reduces maintenance time, handles challenging terrain, and elevates overall course presentation. Since upgrading to the Trimax Snake S3, the team has experienced dramatic improvements in efficiency, cut quality, and day-to-day operations.
Find out how the Snake S3 has empowered Morley Hayes Golf Club to work smarter, achieve flawless course presentation, and eliminate downtime.
Performance, Productivity & Manoeuvrability
With trees bordering nearly every hole, Morley Hayes needed a mower that could work easily around obstacles. The Snake’s agility immediately stood out. “It’s very easy to manoeuvre in and out of the tree lines”.
The machine’s Multi-Lift System has been particularly valuable on a tree-dense course, and Alex says, “Purchasing the Multi-Lift system has been nothing short of a godsend for us… We can lift the decks and narrow the width down to a metre.”
Additionally, Trimax’s QuikLIFT system allows the team to raise decks when crossing paths – without disengaging the PTO.
The Snake’s compact frame and simple height adjustment system also contribute to smoother operation across different parts of the course.
Cut Quality & Course Presentation
For Alex and his team, a premium presentation is non-negotiable, and the Snake S3 delivered beyond expectations. Alex explains, “The cut quality is presenting Morley Hayes as the best I have ever seen in the four years I’ve worked here.” The mower’s contour-following decks and superior clipping dispersal were major factors in the purchase. NexaBlades further enhance performance during peak growth: “The cut quality is second to none… The grass clipping dispersal is absolutely fantastic. We’re having no debris on site at all, even in wet conditions.”
The Snake S3’s manoeuvrability also ensures consistent presentation in challenging areas.
Looking ahead, the team is optimistic that the Leaf Mulch Kit (optional feature) will significantly improve leaf management heading into autumn and winter.
Durability & Minimal Maintenance
Reducing maintenance time was a key objective for Morley Hayes. Their previous machines required frequent greasing and belt adjustments, but the Snake S3 has transformed that workload: “We’ve narrowed maintenance down to 40 minutes a week – just greasing the PTO shaft and rams.”
The difference was immediate. With Trimax’s maintenance-free Titan roller bearing system, maintenance-free wheel hubs, and auto-belt tensioners, the team now spends far less time on upkeep and more time focusing on presentation.
Most importantly:
“We have had no downtime whatsoever.”
“The customer care from Trimax has been second to none, [with] courtesy calls just to make sure we’re happy.”
For other golf or sports turf operations, Alex gives a strong testimonial for the Snake S3: “I would thoroughly recommend the Snake S3. For us, it’s been an absolute game changer.”
With its high standard of cut, reliable manoeuvrability, and low maintenance requirements, the Trimax Snake S3 has elevated Morley Hayes Golf Club’s performance and presentation, proving to be a powerful solution for any course seeking higher efficiency and superior results.
