Golf course superintendents know better than anyone that the practice range is often one of the most abused pieces of turf on the property—and one of the hardest to protect with limited labor, budget, and recovery windows.
Auto-teeing systems like Power Tee were designed to directly address many of the day-to-day headaches superintendents face on grass ranges:
• Controlled wear instead of concentrated damage
Auto-teeing rotates ball position subtly with every shot, preventing thousands of swings from hammering the same strike zone. That means fewer dead strips, less compaction, and more predictable turf recovery.
• Longer grass-tee seasons
Because balls are fed from below the surface, players aren’t “picking clean” one spot over and over. Many facilities see grass tees stay open longer and require less frequent closure or sod replacement.
• Reduced labor pressure
Less hand-rotating tee markers, fewer emergency divot repairs, and no replacing broken rubber tees throughout the day. Crews can focus on proactive maintenance instead of constant range triage.
• Healthier turf under real-world traffic
Auto-teeing spreads impact similarly to fairway traffic rather than range abuse, which helps turf hold density and root strength through peak season.
• Fewer complaints, fewer compromises
Consistent tee height improves the golfer experience while reducing wrist-jarring mats and uneven strike surfaces—cutting down on complaints without sacrificing turf protection.
For many superintendents, the biggest value isn’t technology—it’s regaining control over one of the most difficult areas to manage on the course.
One of our customers saves over $25,000 per year on grass maintenance costs due to using Power Tee at his golf facility.
Here’s an interview with an owner and golf course superintendent at Marietta Golf Center:
We at Power Tee are happy to share examples of how other grass ranges have reduced wear, labor hours, and sod replacement using auto-teeing—or simply talk through whether it makes sense for your setup. Give us a call at 877-769-3781, email info@powertee.com, or fill out our Contact Us form.
