Turfile is a map-based golf course maintenance platform that centralizes irrigation, drainage, trees, bunkers, and work records into a single live workspace. Superintendents and crew members can map assets from their phones, log inspections and repairs, and import existing GIS data, replacing scattered files and static as-builts with a living property record.

Problem
Golf course superintendents rely on as-builts, photos, and plans scattered across disconnected tools, with no reliable system of record for underground infrastructure. This fragmentation leads to hours lost weekly searching for assets, and critical knowledge about the property is often locked in the memory of veteran staff, walking out the door when they leave.
Solution
Turfile provides a centralized, map-based software platform that lets golf course crews build and maintain a live, location-based record of their entire property. Users can map irrigation heads, valves, drainage lines, trees, bunkers, and wildlife sightings directly from their phones, attaching photos, specs, and maintenance history to each asset. The platform supports GPS-based mapping with standard mobile hardware, imports existing GIS files or georeferenced PDF as-builts, and enables crews to log inspections, flag issues, and assign work directly on the map. This living as-built replaces static drawings and tribal knowledge with an accessible, up-to-date operational tool.
Target Audience
Primary customers are golf course superintendents and maintenance crews, as well as golf course management companies, who need an affordable, accessible way to map infrastructure and document property operations without hiring survey firms or learning complex GIS software.
