By the time disease or drought stress is visible on a green, the damage is already done. AeroTech UAV maps turf health across every hole from above — surfacing the early warning signs that let your superintendent act before a small problem becomes a closed green.
From 300 feet, a single flight maps every hole and the AeroSpectra engine flags exactly where the turf is fighting — weed pressure, drought and heat stress, over-watered low spots, and under-fed zones — each pinned to GPS so your crew (or our spray drones) goes straight to it.
Autonomous flights map every hole. Surveys can run after the last group clears or before dawn, when there's no play and the turf is settled.
NDVI/NDRE turf vigor plus AI detection pinpoint weeds, disease and drought stress, over-watered low spots, and under-fed zones — by exact location.
You get a variable-rate zone map: where to spot-spray weeds, where to feed, and where to ease off the water — not a blanket application.
Spray drones spot-treat weeds and broadcast fertilizer (liquid or dry granular) only where the map says — and can run at night.
Red-edge imagery (NDRE) reads chlorophyll changes in turf canopy before color shifts are visible to the eye, while thermal layers reveal moisture and temperature patterns across fairways and greens. Flown on a regular cadence, the data turns turf management from reactive firefighting into a planned program.
NDRE flags fungal stress and weakening turf days before symptoms surface, so treatment is targeted, not blanket.
Thermal imaging pinpoints localized dry spots and drainage issues that hand-watering misses.
Identify Poa Annua and weed encroachment by zone for spot treatment instead of full-course application.
Deliverables built for the superintendent's workflow — organized by hole, easy to share with crews, and trackable over the season.
Florida heat, humidity, and play volume push turf hard. Early detection means fewer emergency fungicide applications, smarter water use, and greens that stay in condition through peak season. Catching one outbreak before it spreads — or trimming water waste across 18 holes — covers the cost of regular flights and protects the playing experience your members pay for.
