We take great pride in providing an innovative product which is improving the experiences on the driving range Merion Golf Club, PA “When our members said they wanted to use the tee line instead of the grass we knew we made the right decision” The TurfHound Difference What makes TurfHound so good? “Well, it starts with our active foam technology that uses advanced materials to duplicate the combined dynamics of grass and soil. By introducing a synthetic representation of soil to the equation our products can more accurately and safely simulate the real feeling of striking a golf shot on natural turf. Realistic and safe for your joints is the key to trusting artificial surfacing”, according to Reynolds. TurfHound produces all of its products on a custom basis to meet its customers needs. Durability is critical to the long term success of any product and this is why we choose the highest quality synthetic materials to build our product. This allows us to offer the “longest wearing” products on the market. TurfHound utilizes a system that allows for rotation of fairway panels to extend the life of the product. Replacement panels are cost effective allowing managers to extend the life of the product even longer. “The old adage, “you get what you pay for” applies here as TurfHound products initially cost more however, the quality of the product and the customers’ enjoyment is maintained throughout its useful lifespan. Therefore, the return on the investment is significantly higher than the competition” stated Reynolds.
