Golf courses in desert environments face significant challenges due to high water demand and difficulty maintaining firm, fast playing surfaces.
SOLUTION
Our mineral turf solution is designed to retain moisture in the soil, reduce the need for irrigation and maintain turf quality.
BENEFITS OF LNC APPLIED TO GOLF COURSES AND TURFGRASS MANAGEMENT
REDUCE IRRIGATION
Agriculture faces significant challenges due to soil degradation, which affects productivity and increases water scarcity.
CONSERVE WATER
Conserves essential water for sustainable agriculture.
PRESERVE NUTRIENTS
It helps maintain nutrients in the soil, vital for crop growth.
INCREASE PERFORMANCE
Improves crop yield, maximizing harvests.
GOLF COURSES
Golf courses are typically built on a sand base to ensure excellent drainage and optimal playing conditions.
These sandy bases typically require significant use of water to remain in perfect condition.
The introduction of products that reduce drainage is undesirable due to potential negative impacts on turf quality and playability.
FORMULA BENEFITS
Duration of 3 to 5 years per application.
Reduction of operating costs.
Less use of equipment and labor.
Contribution to a more sustainable landscape.

HOW LNC WORKS?
APPLY
Applied directly to fairways, turf, and landscaped areas through the established irrigation systems
SAVE
The liquid solution reaches below the root zone, forming a structure that retains more water and nutrients.
GROW
The enriched fertile soil will create vigorous, resilient turf with less water use.
Desert Control’s Tailored Solutions for Turf
Golf courses are typically built on a base layer of sand to ensure superb drainage and maintain optimal playing conditions—fast and firm grounds that recover quickly from rainfall and irrigation. These sandy foundations often require significant water use to stay in perfect condition. The introduction of products that reduce drainage is unwelcome due to potential negative impacts on turf quality and playability. In response, Desert Control tailors specialized liquid mineral formulas for turf engineered to retain optimal soil moisture levels in the root zone without compromising the firmness and quality of the playing surface.
Our liquid mineral formula lasts for 3-5 years per application and may reduce or eliminate the need for frequent applications of wetting agents or surfactants. This can cut down operational costs and reduce equipment usage and labor, minimizing traffic on the course and contributing to a more sustainable landscape.
