Turf health and playability, backed by data from every green.
Golf isn’t a water-savings story. It’s about firm, healthy, consistent playing surfaces. We build course-wide LoRaWAN® networks that put soil moisture, salinity and temperature sensors in greens, tees and fairways, then reuse the same network for cart tracking, pin locations, pump stations and everything else on the property.

Harmony Analytica · golf green sensor install
In the field
A sensor goes into a green in under a minute.
Cup cutter, sensor, plug, done. Watch a flush-mounted soil sensor go into a putting green and start reporting moisture, salinity and temperature from the root zone before the crew moves to the next hole.
- Flush with the surface, invisible to mowers, rollers and players
- Reports within minutes of going in the ground
- One install crew covers eighteen greens in a day
The challenge
What gets in the way.
Wet spots, dry spots
A hand probe can’t cover eighteen greens twice a day. Localized dry-down and wet areas show up in play before they show up in the log.
Disease pressure
Dew, leaf wetness, canopy humidity and soil temperature drive disease. Without site data, spray timing is a guess.
One radio per system
Irrigation, carts, pump stations and weather each bring their own network. None of them talk to each other.
What we build
Solutions we deliver.
Green-by-green soil sensing
Moisture, salinity and temperature at root depth in greens, tees and fairways. Flush-mounted, mower-safe, no wires.
Disease & microclimate
Weather stations and canopy sensors feed disease models so preventive sprays go down when conditions call for them.
Playability
Consistency across greens, tournament prep and firmness targets tracked from real readings instead of feel.
One course-wide network
The same network carries cart tracking, pin locations, pump-station status, tank levels, gates and restrooms.
Why a private network
One network, every hole.
Course Wi-Fi ends at the clubhouse and cellular bills by the device. A CHORA™ network you own reaches eighteen holes and the maintenance yard from a few gateways, and the same network carries soil sensors, cart tracking, pump stations and gates, all reporting to MODURA.
What that means on site
- A few gateways cover the whole course
- One network for turf, carts, pumps and gates
- Sensors buried in greens run for years on a battery
In the field
Sensors in the green, not beside it.
These photos are from a desert golf course deployment. Soil sensors sit flush with the putting surface so mowers, rollers and players never notice them, while a gateway on the clubhouse roof and a pole-mounted antenna at the course edge cover the whole property.
What was installed
- Flush-mounted soil sensors that survive mowing, rolling and aeration
- Moisture, salinity and temperature at root depth
- Rooftop gateway and pole-mounted antennas covering the full course
- Room on the same network for carts, pins, pumps and weather
The network
Built to cover the whole course.
One gateway reaches miles, so a handful of well-placed radios covers eighteen holes and the maintenance yard.
Rooftop gateway
Mounted above the tile roofline for line of sight across the property.
Pole-mounted antenna
An omni antenna on an existing pole extends coverage to the far holes and the pump station.
How we help
How we help.
Design, deployment and integration are where most projects start. Advisory, custom development and managed support are on the Services page.
CHORA Network Design
