Golf Course Consulting – Agronomy Solutions
From soil science to play-ready turf
Golf course projects succeed or fail on the foundation of agronomy. From soil composition to turf selection and grow-in management, every decision affects not only the playing quality but also the long-term resilience and maintenance costs of the course. SRBT provides agronomy consulting as a dedicated service, bringing together scientific analysis, practical golf course experience, and construction logistics expertise.
Soil & Substrate Management
- Detailed oil testing and profiling (pH, salinity, nutrient availability, compaction).
-
Tailored soil amendment strategies – lime, organic matter, biostimulants, and microbial inoculants.
- Application of
Biotic Soil Media (BSM) where no topsoil is available, to create a fertile layer for seed establishment.- Long-term soil monitoring as part of
course maintenance plans. - Application of
Turfgrass Selection
- Cool-season (C3) grasses such as fescues, ryegrass, or Kentucky bluegrass for temperate regions.
- Warm-season (C4) grasses like Bermuda, Zoysia, or Paspalum for tropical and arid climates.
- Sprigging techniques: Especially for C4 grasses, SRBT offers expertise in establishing turf through sprigs – a cost-effective and resilient alternative to sod installation in warm-season zones.
- Custom seed blends that balance fast germination, deep rooting, and biodiversity targets.
Irrigation & Nutrient Planning
- Integration of agronomic plans with irrigation system design and scheduling.
- Temporary hydration and mulch strategies to bridge construction delays before irrigation is operational.
- Balanced nutrient management plans –that support early growth while minimizing environmental impacts.
Logistics Consulting in the Construction Process
Agronomy at SRBT is not limited to soil and seed – it extends into the logistical coordination of golf course construction.
- By aligning earthmoving, drainage, irrigation, and seeding activities, we ensure that grow-in can start earlier and under more flexible conditions.
- Through the use of hydromulching and moisture-retentive mulch systems, grow-in is possible even before irrigation systems are fully commissioned.
- This coordination allows course developers to shorten project timelines, avoid delays due to seasonal constraints, and secure early establishment of vegetation without compromising quality.
- Sustainable outcomes – technical reliability combined with ecological gains.
Grow-In Consulting
- Scheduling vegetation works in alignment with earthmoving, drainage, and shaping.
- Just-in-time seeding and mulching to prevent erosion during construction.
- Monitoring & adjustment during grow-in phases to minimize risk and accelerate playability.
Outcome:
With SRBT’s agronomy consulting, golf courses are built on scientific precision, logistical foresight, and practical grow-in strategies – ensuring sustainable turf quality, ecological balance, and reduced maintenance burdens over the long term.
