Golf courses face two main threats: pond buildup and dredging costs. Mechanically dredging your ponds can cost up to six figures and destroy the local ecosystem. There’s a third threat most courses ignore: the chemical cocktail your golfers walk through every round. Chemical turf treatments, copper sulfate in the water, and petroleum-based maintenance products all contribute to chemical exposure, on a property people come to for recreation and fresh air.
At Spadefoot, we offer a natural, cost-effective alternative to golf course water management and ground restoration.
We apply beneficial probiotic solutions into your waterways. Our patented consortium of bacilli is a gentle and effective solution. Beneficial microbes digest the material at the bottom of your ponds to restore your water depth at a fraction of the cost. Zero need for copper sulfate treatments, which means cleaner water for the wildlife, the neighboring community, and the aquifer beneath your fairways. Recurring costs are dramatically lower and far healthier than conventional chemical pond treatments that fail to address the root causes of nutrient imbalance.
We stabilize pond edges with deep-rooted native grasses, stopping the shoreline collapse that shrinks your course’s footprint. These living edges filter runoff before it enters your water features, improving water quality while protecting your property’s boundaries.
We help your course transition out-of-play areas into low-input grounds. Using local, dense grass, it creates a visual contrast for your golfers. It significantly reduces the acreage that requires high-volume irrigation and intense chemical management, meaning less pesticide drift, cleaner air on the course, and a healthier environment for every golfer who walks it.
Don’t let your waterways become a hazard or operational expense. Make it a visual asset. Every gallon of water your probiotic system restores is a gallon that’s no longer leaching contaminants into the sole-source aquifer beneath your fairways, protecting the drinking water your members and the surrounding community depend on.
Our team has over 100+ years of combined field experience, and native pollinator habitat experts to ensure your course is compliant, and your water is clean.
