The Endorsement That Matters

When Don Rea speaks about the game of golf, people listen. As the President of the PGA of America, his leadership is focused on elevating the sport, ensuring both professionals and everyday golfers have access to the best resources possible. But beyond his national role, Rea is also the Owner and Operator of Augusta Ranch Golf Club, a course known for its top-tier experience. This dual perspective—both as a leader shaping the future of golf and as someone managing a real course daily—gives him a sharp eye for products that genuinely make a difference.

So, when Rea gives his stamp of approval, it’s because he’s seen firsthand how something performs. That’s exactly why he trusts TurfHound. At Augusta Ranch, where golfers expect high-quality practice facilities, our realistic, durable synthetic tee surfaces have proven to be a game-changer.

A Surface Built for the Modern Golfer

Any golfer who’s hit off a worn-out range mat knows how frustrating it can be—too much shock on the wrists, an unnatural feel underfoot, and nothing like real turf. That’s the problem we set out to fix.

What makes TurfHound different? It’s all about realism and durability. Our synthetic tee surfaces are designed to feel like natural grass, allowing golfers to swing with confidence, knowing their mechanics and ball response will be the same as they would on a real fairway. Plus, our patented Active Foam Technology™ absorbs impact, making practice more comfortable and reducing strain on joints over time.

For a course owner like Don Rea, that combination of comfort, performance, and longevity isn’t just nice to have—it’s essential. Golfers at Augusta Ranch expect a great experience every time they step onto the tee, and we’ve delivered exactly that.

What Don Rea Says: Comfort, Consistency & Excellence

Rea has seen it all when it comes to golf products, so his praise for TurfHound is significant. In his own words:

“TurfHound’s tee surfaces have been an integral part of achieving a top-tier golfing experience. Their durability, realistic feel, and golf tee holding system have not only enhanced the practice environment for our patrons but also maintained the high standards of our facility. The feedback from golfers, both recreational and professional, has been overwhelmingly positive, citing improved comfort and consistency in their practice sessions. I highly recommend TurfHound tee surfaces to any golf facility looking to offer the best for their players.”

For us, this feedback validates what we’ve always known—the right tee surface makes all the difference. A reliable, realistic, and comfortable practice environment keeps golfers coming back, and we’re proud to be part of that experience at Augusta Ranch.

Elevating Golf Courses Like Augusta Ranch

More and more golf facilities are recognizing the value of premium synthetic tee surfaces, not just for the golfer’s experience but for long-term performance and cost efficiency. TurfHound’s modular design allows course owners to rotate and replace individual panels as needed, extending the life of their investment. This ensures that high-traffic areas remain in top condition without requiring a full replacement—something traditional mats simply can’t offer.

At Augusta Ranch, our surfaces have helped maintain top-tier conditions year-round, keeping golfers happy and reducing maintenance headaches. For any facility looking to upgrade, the benefits are clear:

✔ A more natural feel for better practice sessions
✔ Increased durability to handle heavy foot traffic
✔ Modular replacement system for long-term savings
✔ Reduced impact on joints, improving golfer comfort
