Golf course and grounds operations, one platform
TurfOps is a golf course and grounds operations platform built in South Africa for the companies that maintain multiple sites. Courses, estates, construction sites and commercial landscapes sit on a single map, with fleet, agronomy, staff and Act 36 chemical compliance held against the ground they belong to.
The business of running a contract and the daily work of keeping the ground alive have never spoken the same language. TurfOps puts them in the same place.
A superintendent lives in a group chat and a stack of spreadsheets. The company holding the contract lives in month end and board meetings. Between the two, the mower that broke last Tuesday becomes nobody's problem and everybody's. TurfOps closes that gap for the companies who maintain courses, estates and grounds for other people, across every site on the contract and not one site at a time.
Every site you manage sits on a single map, coloured by how it is actually doing. Amber where a licence is close to lapsing, red where a job has run well over, green where all is well. Zoom in and the course is real. The greens, the fairways, the tees and the water, drawn from proper geometry rather than a pin dropped on a road.
Hundreds of millions of rands in equipment move between courses, and until now nobody could say for certain where a loader was or who last had it. TurfOps signs equipment across from one site to another, both sides confirming the hours, the condition and the photos. Fuel, services and licences all sit against the machine. When something breaks, its history is right there, and so is the person who signed for it.
Applications are recorded to the letter of Act 36, with the weather at the moment of spraying captured on its own, no clipboard needed. Licences warn you long before they expire. When an inspector asks, the register is a click away rather than a shoebox in the office. The same register covers landscaping and grounds work, because Act 36 does not care whether the ground is a fairway.
A four digit PIN gets a greenkeeper onto the app with no email address and no password to forget. It keeps working when the signal drops out on the back nine, and quietly syncs the moment it returns. The people doing the work were the first we designed for, not the last.
No lock in and no per seat surprises. The maps are free and open, your records are yours to export, and each organisation can wear its own name and its own colours. If you would rather point your own assistant at your operation and simply ask it a question, you can, because TurfOps speaks to modern AI from the start.
Moisture, salinity and temperature read straight off POGO probes in the ground, zone by zone, with nobody typing a number. The readings land alongside the green speed and the clipping yield for the same site on the same day, so a decision about water has the whole picture behind it rather than a hunch and a boot heel.
TurfOps is a golf course and grounds operations platform from TurfOps (Pty) Ltd in Cape Town. It holds sites, fleet, agronomy, chemical compliance, staff and budgets for organisations that maintain multiple properties, on a single map of the actual ground.
Companies that maintain golf courses, estates and commercial grounds for other people. Typically a maintenance or construction operation running several sites, multiple divisions, a large field workforce and equipment that moves between properties. Single site clubs can use it, but the platform is built for the multi site operator.
Yes. Field crews sign in with a four digit PIN and keep capturing when the signal drops. Work logged out on the course queues on the device and syncs the moment coverage returns. There is also a watchOS app for capture from the wrist.
Chemical applications are recorded to the requirements of the Fertilizers, Farm Feeds, Agricultural Remedies and Stock Remedies Act 36 of 1947. Weather at the moment of spraying is captured automatically, applicator licences are tracked with expiry warnings, and the full register is exportable when an inspector asks. It applies to landscaping and grounds applications as well as golf.
Yes. TurfOps is white label. Each organisation runs under its own name, logo and colours. Records export in full and there is no per seat lock in.
TurfOps connects directly to POGO soil probes from Stevens Water using your property API keys. Moisture, salinity and temperature readings sync per zone automatically and appear against the site alongside green speed and clipping data. No manual capture, no separate app.
