PowerTee.com this week announced the release of a new special report titled “How Golf Facilities Can Dramatically Reduce Turf Maintenance Costs at Driving Ranges,” now available as a free download for general managers, golf course superintendents, course operators, and chief operating officers.
With turf maintenance costs continuing to rise due to increased labour expenses, equipment use, turf recovery demands, and escalating water costs amid growing shortages, the report provides practical strategies that help superintendents significantly reduce the time, cost, and effort required to maintain grass tee lines at driving ranges.
The special report explores the hidden operational costs associated with traditional grass tee areas and outlines alternative approaches that can dramatically reduce mowing, divot repair, irrigation demands, and turf recovery cycles. It also examines how modern range design and technology can help facilities protect turf while improving operational efficiency.
“Grass tee lines are one of the most labour-intensive and costly areas for superintendents to maintain,” said Power Tee CEO and Founder Martin Wyeth. “This report shows how facilities can rethink their range operations to dramatically reduce turf wear, lower maintenance costs, and free up valuable staff time for other priorities across the course.”
Among the key insights in the report:
- How turf damage on traditional tee lines drives hidden labour costs
- Examples of facilities that have significantly reduced range maintenance demands
- Strategies to reduce mowing, divot repair, and turf recovery cycles
- Ways to protect high-traffic areas from excessive wear
- Operational approaches that allow maintenance teams to redeploy labor more efficiently
The report also highlights how modern driving range technologies and facility design choices can help operators maintain high-quality practice environments while reducing the operational burden placed on turf management teams.
The report focuses on several key areas, many of which are specific to UK and European facilities:
- Maximising playability in a high-rainfall, high-wear environment – i.e. UK courses deal with year-round moisture + winter traffic, not just summer stress.
- How facilities are reducing maintenance costs without sacrificing playing standards.
