Docs Getting Started

Start here

Welcome to Turfile. What it is, and your first day, from the invite email to the map on your phone.

Turfile puts your entire property at your fingertips. Every sprinkler, valve, bunker, and tree sits on one living satellite map, with the daily work that keeps them running tied right to it. It replaces scattered as-builts, screenshots, and institutional memory with a single workspace your whole crew shares, on the web and on the phones in their pockets.

Where you start depends on how you came in.

Setting up your club

You bought the subscription, so the club is yours to build.

  1. Set up your property. The wizard in your welcome email takes about five minutes: name the club, drop it on the map, and you’re in.

  2. Invite your crew. One invite email per person from the Team tab. Your team is what makes the map worth keeping current.

  3. Set roles. Everyone gets one of four permission levels, from Owner down to read-only Staff. Choose each person’s level based on the access you trust them with.

Joining a club

Someone added you to their Turfile.

  1. Accept your invite. Open the email, set a password, and you’re on the course map.

Then get it in the field

  1. Put the app on your phone. You use the same login and see the same map out in the field.

If you get locked out at any point, resetting your password takes two minutes.

Where to next

Pick whichever part of the course you want on the map first, and open that section’s start-here:

  • Irrigation: every head, valve, pipe, and wire run.
  • Drainage: the underground network nobody can see.
  • Bunkers: condition scores, inspections, and sand logs.
  • Trees: species, health, and tree work.
  • Handbook: your course standards, mapped.

One note before you map: whoever does the mapping needs the Owner, Management, or Tech Staff role. Details in Roles and permissions.
