Our Sand-based
Turf Systems
The best golf turf needs to satisfy two competing demands: it needs to thrive in drought and in heavy rain. Failure to survive either can make the course unplayable for weeks.
Our sand-based turf can withstand the harshest Australian conditions.
As their specifications will show, our Kikuyu and Bermuda turf varietals are drought-hardy. But our sand-based growth systems improve their drainage ability, allowing the grass to absorb and disperse rain quickly.
At your consultation, we’ll discuss the benefits in detail. We’ll also provide installation advice, or even send our vetted and qualified contractors to sprig your golf course for you.

TifTuf Bermuda is our recommended turf for most golf courses
With so many grass types to choose from, how do you define the best one? Not to harp on about it, but we sincerely believe that our TifTuf Bermuda is the ideal choice.
TifTuf turf thrives in full sun, taking hours of direct light without burning. It grows all year, guaranteeing a healthy green. Let’s put the technical specs aside for a moment. The aesthetics and feel of this turf are perfect. Its soft, fine leaf blades and deep green colour are those little details that tell golfers they’re playing on the best of the best.
Before you think this is all talk, we’ve got the work to back it up. Scroll down and check out our turf on some of Melbourne’s best golf courses.
