Welcome to a glimpse into the world of turf management at Bayville Golf Club! Our Agronomy Team prides itself on its commitment to excellence in maintaining flourishing landscapes that enhance the beauty of the course, as well as producing tournament conditions by employing the latest technologies the green industry has to offer.

One of the key aspects of turf management at Bayville Golf Club is the implementation of best management practices to optimize the health and appearance of the turfgrass. From routine mowing schedules to precise fertilization strategies, every step is taken to ensure that the turf is in top condition year-round. Aeration is a crucial practice that the agronomy team at Bayville Golf Club prioritizes. By loosening compacted soil and promoting root growth, aeration helps to improve water and nutrient absorption, leading to healthier turf overall. Routine topdressing, another important practice, regulates thatch development and yields firm, fast putting surfaces. In addition to regular maintenance practices, the team also stays vigilant against common turf issues such as weeds, pests, and diseases. By closely monitoring the turf and implementing integrated pest management techniques, we can effectively confront these challenges without harming the environment.
To further enhance our turf management efforts, the Team at Bayville Golf Club utilizes cutting-edge technology and equipment. Daily operations and management of our course employ such forefront technologies as the USGA GS3 Ball and Deacon app, Spiio weather sensors, and the hole location management system ezLocator. From our smart pump station and the precision Rain Bird irrigation system that deliver water efficiently, to the Tasktracker task management tool to centralize communication and record-keeping, to the Predict N7 nitrogen model for dialing in our nutrient needs - we use various turf monitoring and staff management tools that provide real-time data on the health of our turfgrass and keep our team efficient.
Overall, the Bayville Golf Club Agronomy Team's dedication to best practices in turf management is evident in the pristine condition of our course, as well as our propensity to evolve.
