Case Study: Caves Valley Golf Club achieves rapid lightning protection for golfers & caddies with Earth Networks

Caves Valley Relies on Outdoor Alerting System to Safeguard Players & Caddies

Caves Valley Golf Club, a 962‑acre, member‑owned 18‑hole all‑walking course in Owings Mills, Maryland, needed faster lead times to get golfers and caddies off the spread‑out course during frequent summer thunderstorms. To address that safety challenge, Caves Valley turned to Earth Networks and its online weather visualization solution to monitor real‑time lightning and storm activity.

Earth Networks provides real‑time radar, total lightning data and alerts (with over 25 weather layers) for a 6‑mile radius so head professionals can track storms; after using the system for over three years, Caves Valley now brings players and caddies off the course within ten minutes and reports “100% accuracy” in its warnings, significantly improving safety and response times.
