In today’s data-driven world, turf management made easier isn’t a dream—it’s a necessity. Superintendents need fast, reliable insights across their entire course. While manual data-collection, drones and sensors exist, it demands too much: dedicated staff, time, hardware, maintenance, compliance, manual stitching and trained operators.
Satellite imagery eliminates all of that. It’s technology to automate data collection and interpretation—no hardware, no flight planning, no certifications, no manual stitching. Just accurate, timely turf condition data delivered directly to your dashboard, remotely. Impactful technology empowers golf courses to focus on the most valuable aspect of data-driven practices: decision-making.
Receive Turf Condition Data Effortlessly
With satellites, everything’s handled. You receive turf condition data effortlessly,without lifting a finger. No need for equipment, maintenance, or extra staff. Just clear insights delivered regularly, so you can act faster and smarter. Modern superintendent tools are designed for today’s pace—high-efficiency, cloud-based, always-on.
1 Flight, Entire Golf Analyzed
Drones offer limited coverage in one flight. Satellites don’t. With one pass you get afull view of every fairway, green, and tee box, captured in one go. All the collecting, storing, organizing and measuring steps are automated. Then it’s all broken down into comprehensive turf scores, showing where intervention is needed and what areas are thriving. That frees time for the analytics and decision-making, which paves the way for precise turf management.
Automated turf condition diagnostics. No Extra Work.
Satellites provide the most comprehensive decision-making tool for superintendents—without the operational headaches. With features like:
- Visualization of results on the entire course
- 17 metrics about vegetation, nutrient content and soil moisture
- Advanced soil moisture mapping
- Nutrient level mapping
- Stress levels on your entire golf course
- Image and result comparisons
- Data-base of the evolution of the turf condition
- Intuitive reporting and automated graphics
- Alerts
- AI recommendations
- Course diary
Historical Perspective at Your Fingertips
Satellite imagery builds a historical archive of data. You can travel back up to four years in time to see how turf conditions evolved. That means you can analyze how weather, traffic, or maintenance practices have impacted turf performance over months or years. Empowered with data, superintendents can also identify and anticipate early symptoms of their stress zones, which allows to mitigate issues before they escalate.
This is the power of data-driven agronomy: you measure the impact of your decisions, find trends & patterns and allocate resources with precision.
