Customize Turf Alerts with TurfPro Zone Warnings

Back to the blog

Every golf course or sports field has unique conditions, and your turf data should reflect that. With TurfPro’s Zone Warnings, you can customize color-coded thresholds for each area of your property, helping you quickly identify when conditions need attention.

This flexibility allows you to tailor alerts based on how different zones behave, whether they retain more moisture, receive more rainfall, or experience higher temperatures. By setting the right thresholds, you can make faster, more informed turf management decisions.

What Are Zone Warnings?

Zone Warnings are customizable thresholds that determine when TurfPro displays color-coded alerts for your data. These visual indicators help you quickly understand turf conditions at a glance.

With Zone Warnings, you can set limits for key measurements such as:

  • Soil Moisture
  • Electrical Conductivity (EC)
  • Salinity Index
  • Canopy Temperature
  • Soil Temperature

Each measurement is displayed using color-coded thresholds, allowing you to easily identify areas that may require attention.

Why Custom Thresholds Matter

No two zones behave exactly the same. A green with heavy shade will retain moisture differently than a fairway exposed to full sun. TurfPro allows you to account for these differences by customizing thresholds for each zone.

By adjusting your Zone Warnings, you can:

  • Reduce false alerts
  • Improve data accuracy
  • Better match alerts to real turf conditions
  • Make more confident maintenance decisions

Adjusting Zone Warnings on Desktop

To customize your thresholds on the TurfPro desktop platform:

  1. Log in at TurfPro.com and select your property
  2. Click Setup in the upper-right corner
  3. Select Zones from the left-hand menu
  4. Choose the zone you want to edit and click Edit
  5. Scroll to the POGO Warnings section
  6. Adjust thresholds for each measurement as needed
  7. Click the Save icon to apply your changes

You can also use the Copy & Save feature to apply the same settings across multiple zones, saving time when working with similar areas.

Adjusting SPEC Warning Thresholds

In addition to POGO measurements, you can also customize thresholds for your SPEC measurements, such as:

  • Ball speed
  • Firmness
  • Grass clipping yield
  • Other custom metrics

This allows you to extend the same level of control and customization across all your turf data.

Adjusting Zone Warnings in TurfPro Mobile

Zone Warnings can also be edited directly from the TurfPro Mobile app:

  1. Open your property
  2. Tap Zones
  3. Select the zone you want to edit
  4. Scroll to Zone Warnings
  5. Tap the pencil icon to adjust thresholds
  6. Apply changes, and optionally copy them to other zones

This makes it easy to update your settings whether you’re in the office or out in the field.

Smarter Alerts, Better Decisions

By customizing Zone Warnings, you ensure that TurfPro’s alerts are aligned with your course’s unique conditions and management goals. Instead of relying on generic thresholds, you’re working with data that reflects your actual turf environment.

The result? Faster insights, more accurate alerts, and better decisions across your entire property.
