What Grass Buddy Provides

Data-driven turf intelligence
built for the course

Capture, analyse, and act directly from the course. Replace guesswork with a consistent, quantified visual record of your course's condition.

Quantify Turf Health

Turn a phone or drone photo into a scored assessment — healthy and stress percentages calculated instantly. No lab. No delay.

Visualise Health & Stress

Colour-overlaid analysis images alongside live dashboards showing course health scores and stress percentages at a glance.

Historical Insights

Track trends by hole, wear zone, and green type. Recovery and decline patterns become visible across weeks and seasons.

Course Performance Reports

Monthly reports across all holes and zones. Share with management, document decisions, and support budget conversations with evidence.

Moisture Tracking

Log soil moisture readings alongside every assessment. Spot the dry and waterlogged zones driving stress — and time your irrigation to the data.

Ball Speed Tracking

Record green speed over time and see it next to turf health. Prove the surfaces are playing consistently — and catch drift before members do.

AI Turf Intelligence

Grass Buddy reads your course's own assessments — health scores, stress trends, moisture and notes — and returns plain-language feedback for each zone: what's changing, why it may be happening, and what to prioritise next. Guidance grounded in your data, not generic advice.
