TurfDog

TurfDog is golf course maintenance software for superintendents and their crews. It runs the day from a live job board on the shop TV and crew phones, keeps spray and fertilizer application records and SDS sheets, plans hole locations with slope maps, and includes Bingo, an AI assistant that identifies turf diseases from photos, finds product labels and processes invoices. It is published by TurfDog LLC. Its founder, Jeff Barrett, is a working golf course superintendent. Courses and golfers can write a TurfDog review using this SURVEY FORM.

Who TurfDog is for

TurfDog is built for the maintenance department: superintendents, assistants and crews, with an executive view for general managers and multi-course operators. It is not a tee sheet or a golfer-facing booking tool. GCTR does not yet have a course maintenance comparison, so TurfDog is listed as a vendor profile.

What TurfDog offers

• Live job board. Daily assignments shown on a shop TV and on crew phones, with weather and events. The public TV display needs no login. Superintendents drag jobs onto people and shifts.
• Application records. Spray and fertilizer applications logged with rates, areas, growing degree days and costs. Each application draws down inventory and feeds the budget.
• SDS and label compliance. Bingo finds product labels and SDS sheets, and TurfDog publishes a public SDS page for the course. Paid plans add spray recommendations and EPA PULA alerts.
• Hole locations. Hole location planning with slope maps, GPS pin placement from a phone, printable pin sheets in 1x, 2x or 4x layouts, and an embed for the club website.
• Bingo AI assistant. Disease identification from photos, label and SDS lookup, draft daily and weekly schedules from the task list and available staff, and AI invoice processing by email on the Club plan.
• Staff, equipment, inventory and budget. Shift schedules, equipment and purchase orders, inventory and spending against budget, plus two-way SMS with the crew on paid plans.

Platforms and integrations

TurfDog runs on iOS and Android and in a web browser on phones, tablets, desktops and TVs. On paid plans TurfDog lists integrations with SpecConnect, Spiio, POGO, Perry Weather and Strackaline greens, plus Google, Outlook and Apple calendar sync. TurfDog says Excel and CSV export is available on every plan, including the free one.

Pricing

TurfDog publishes its prices. The Crew plan is free and covers the job board, assignments, shift schedules, inventory, budget tracking, application logs and daily hole locations. Superintendent is $3,499 a year (or $324 a month) and Club is $4,899 a year (or $454 a month), which adds multi-course management, AI invoice processing, disease forecasting and a dedicated account manager. TurfDog's site also lists a one-time setup fee of $1,500 on Superintendent and $2,000 on Club, waived for courses that subscribe during the trial. New courses get a 10-day Club trial with no card required, then drop back to the free Crew plan with their data kept.

What TurfDog does not say yet

TurfDog's public pages do not name customer courses, and its own comparison notes that it is younger than taskTracker or GreenKeeper, with a smaller customer base. Spanish or other language support is not mentioned. Treat those as questions to ask until TurfDog confirms them.

Questions to ask in a demo

• Which courses run TurfDog today, and can we speak to a superintendent who uses it?
• Is the crew app and job board available in Spanish?
• How does disease identification handle a photo it cannot match, and who checks it?
• Do our state's pesticide record-keeping rules map to the application log fields?
• What does setup include for the one-time fee, and how do we export everything if we leave?
