🌿 Platform v2.0 Now Live

A LIVING COURSE RECORD —
BUILT AS THE WORK GETS DONE.

TURF Insight Platform v2.0 unifies high-resolution aerial mapping, offline-capable field capture, and precision machinery exports into one secure spatial database. Decisions don’t depend on memory, paper maps, or tracking down the right person.

THE COURSE IS KNOWN — BUT NOT WRITTEN DOWN.

On most courses, no single person knows where everything is. Irrigation details live with one long-time irrigator. Drainage history is remembered by a former assistant.

The Old Way

  • feedback

    “Let's go look” / “Let me ask around”

    Superintendents spend hours chasing paper drawings, text messages, or interviewing retired crew members to find valves or lines.

  • broken_image

    Fragments & Hearsay

    Renovations, drainage layouts, and tree removal logs live in hand-drawn notes, fading markers, or are entirely forgotten after staff transitions.

  • error_outline

    Manual Machine Setups

    Autonomous sprayers and mowers are configured with manual eyeballing, leading to chemical skips, spray overlap, and machine boundary collisions.

The TURF Insight Way

  • check_circle

    Millimeter-Level GPS Database

    Every catch basin, pipe, and tree is georeferenced on-site using sub-inch RTK GPS coordinates and mapped directly onto your dashboard.

  • check_circle

    A Durable Living Record

    Document tree inventories, tournament setups, and infrastructure changes as work is done. Preserve course context forever so it survives project turnovers.

  • check_circle

    Direct Sprayer/Mower Integration

    One-click sanitized shapefile boundary exports for Toro GeoLink sprayers and mower inclusion/exclusion zones ensure seamless and automated equipment operation.

“Let’s go look.” “Let me ask around.” “I think it’s over here.”
01 · INFRASTRUCTURE

Irrigation & Drainage Mapping

Irrigation and drainage information often lives in fragments. TURF Insight brings that together into one clear record so you can see known lines, add notes when work is done, and reduce guesswork before trenching.

  • check_circle Contour Overlays: Overlay dynamic 1ft, 2ft, and 5ft contour lines to analyze terrain gradients.
  • check_circle Elevation Range Clamping: Apply custom height ranges to DSM data to highlight drainage flow paths.
  • check_circle As-Built Annotations: Draw, trace, and label pipes, valves, and catch basins directly on the map.

02 · MACHINERY INTEGRATION

Autonomous Sprayer & Mowers

Automated sprayers and autonomous mowers depend on accurate definitions of the course — fairways, approaches, greens, collars, rough, and cutting areas. The challenge for superintendents isn’t the equipment itself. It’s setting it up correctly and keeping it updated as the course changes. When the course changes, the data changes with it.

  • check_circle Toro GeoLink Integration: Export sanitized ESRI Shapefile boundaries for automated chemical rate-control.
  • check_circle Autonomous Mower Mapping: Output clean mower boundary coordinates grouped by mowing zone.
  • check_circle Centimeter-Level Accuracy: Verify machine boundaries using localized RTK GPS references.

03 · SEASONAL CHANGES

Renovations & Tree Management

Renovation knowledge often disappears once a project ends. TURF Insight preserves before conditions, after conditions, and notes on why decisions were made. Track tree removals, additions, and canopy changes so future decisions aren’t based on memory alone.

  • check_circle Before & After Logs: Keep historical overlays of grading and reconstruction projects.
  • check_circle Tree Inventories: Tag tree coordinates, record planting dates, and assess light exposure.
  • check_circle Volumetric Stockpile Audits: Calculate sand, topsoil, and gravel volumes directly on the map.

04 · EVENT OPERATIONS

Tournaments & Staff Transitions

Stop starting from scratch every year. Document tent locations, ropes, fencing, and temporary infrastructure so next year’s planning starts with last year’s answers. Ensure new staff inherit context and the course doesn't have to be relearned from scratch when people leave.

  • check_circle Event Mapping: Pin coordinate maps for ropes, bleachers, and concession setups.
  • check_circle QR Code Crew Logging: Let staff capture field observations instantly with no app store downloads.
  • check_circle Timeline Archive: Archive past timelines and weather data side-by-side with historical photos.

ACCURACY & WHAT IT IS (AND ISN’T)

TURF Insight is not a legal survey. It is built with field discipline — not guesswork.

gps_fixed

GPS collected on-site

Every coordinate is registered directly from the field rovers and DJI flight lines, ensuring precise ground alignment.

pin_drop

Consistent reference points

Uses standardized geodetic anchor points to keep layers aligned across weeks, months, and years.

straighten

Real measurements

No guestimates or eyeballing satellite tiles. Rely on physical survey calculations and elevation scans.

HOW TURF Insight WORKS

Plain-Language Overview. Built around how golf courses actually change.

1

THE BASE MAP

TURF Insight starts with a current, accurate map of your course and grows from there.

2

WORK HAPPENS

New drainage is added. Irrigation is modified. Trees are removed. Changes are recorded directly on the map.

3

UPDATED RECORD

Nothing gets lost. Nothing has to be recreated later. The record improves over time.

ABOUT TURF Insight

TURF Insight was shaped by real conversations with superintendents who were tired of chasing information, relying on hearsay, and losing history when people leave. It exists to make course knowledge visible, durable, and useful.

START WITH WHAT YOU’RE WORKING ON NOW. You don’t need a big rollout. Most courses start TURF Insight by focusing on: A drainage problem, Irrigation updates, Tree work, or an upcoming event.
