Tools in this discipline

Long-Term Property Plan (PTS)

A professional long-term plan (LTP/PTS) tool for golf properties: register buildings and spaces, phase future repairs and investments across years, track realized costs and keep a space-level inventory with values. The tool smooths investment peaks, compares estimates to actuals and prioritizes spaces in poor condition.

What the term meansA long-term plan (PTS) is the course's multi-year maintenance and investment programme: what gets renewed, when, and at what cost. It makes deferred maintenance visible and governable for the board.

Turf Economics

Business cases for course decisions — baseline versus alternative, cash flow, NPV, IRR and payback from the club's own data, with scenarios, sensitivity, board-ready PDFs and post-investment review.

What the term meansROI (Return on Investment) shows whether a purchase pays itself back: yearly savings or income relative to price, and the payback period in years.

Project Cost Intelligence

What a course project actually costs the club — a quick estimate in under a minute that refines into a detailed cost plan: works packages with editable construction profiles, contractor preliminaries, client costs, fees, contingency, escalation, scenarios, versions, tenders and board reports.

Renovation Project Planner

Scope, phasing and budgets for putting-green renovations, bunker projects and drainage work. Includes a Gantt timeline, a supervision log documented with photos and sign-offs, cost tracking,.ics calendar export and estimate imports from construction calculators.

Bunker Calculator

Bunker areas, liners, sand, edge materials and costs for ordering. Includes CapillaryFlow-based 3D surface calculations, haulage loads and a printable order list. Supplies data to Project Cost Intelligence.

Rootzone Specification

Full ETL/USGA lab-data intake with CSV and SFS-EN 933-1 import, particle-size curves and D-values, the USGA 2004 compliance matrix with a decision hierarchy, rule-based amendment and blend guidance with follow-up maintenance notes, layer-depth and gravel bridging checks, and a printable decision report. Projects are saved per course.

Grass Species Selector

A data-driven grass species and cultivar selector for northern conditions: 30-year climate profile from open ERA5 data (winter stress, snow mould, ice encasement and drought indices, SCANGREEN zone), species scoring weighted by your priorities and play load, a cultivar explorer across SCANGREEN, SCANTURF and NTEP trials, seed-rate and cost calculation with STERF mix recipes, and an own-trials log with automatic weather attachment.

Grow-in Programme

Coming

From seed to surface: nutrition, mowing and traffic plans for establishment under Nordic conditions.

What the term meansGrow-in is the phase where a new or renovated surface is raised from seed or turf to full playing condition. It is its own programme — frequent feeding, watering and first cuts — whose discipline sets surface quality for years.

Project Management

Coming

Plan, phase and track course projects, with tasks, responsible people, budgets and schedules in one place.
