MiniVerde has become a top choice of golf course superintendents across the southern region. However, while this variety works especially well for tees, collars and greens, its health and vitality depend on proper installation and maintenance. That’s why Modern Turf offers free consultations for local golf course superintendents.


The staff at Modern Turf includes three former golf course superintendents, who understand the challenges of working with MiniVerde and other grasses in such a demanding setting. The quality of the turf impacts the playability of the course, and ultimately its profitability. With the increased popularity of this grass Modern Turf has expanded it’s acreage and now has plenty of sod as well as sprigs.  Their staff is able to install both forms of the product.


“We know that the real heroes at any golf operation are the golf course superintendents. Without their expertise, the course would quickly become unplayable. That’s why we offer this free, no-obligation consult to area superintendents. Whether they plant MiniVerde sod or one of the other great grasses we specialize in, we want to make sure all they hear are compliments on the condition of the turf,” said Hank Kerfoot, owner of Modern Turf.


Modern Turf’s MiniVerde sod and sprigs come with a purity certification guarantee and are grown on Methyl bromide fumigated soil. It’s increased success and popularity are directly related to it’s ability to stand up to the wear and tear typical of busy golf courses without overburdening the budget. The nursery specializes in helping residential, sports, and commercial clients choose the turf best suited for their needs.
