Why Golf Course Superintendents Choose FieldSaver® Covers
Open Your Course Earlier Each Spring
FieldSaver® covers promote faster spring green-up on greens and tee boxes, giving you two to three weeks of additional spring play before the competing course across town is ready.
Protection Through Every Winter Threat
Polypropylene covers defend putting greens and tee boxes against snow, ice, frost, and animal activity, preventing the kind of winter damage that delays spring opening and costs thousands in sod replacement.
Research-Tested at Penn State
Independent research conducted at Penn State's Valentine Turfgrass Research Center documented 78% higher spring growth yield, 60% better spring color, and 10.5% higher winter canopy temperature on turf covered with CoverSports® polypropylene.
Built to Last, Backed by Warranty
FieldSaver® covers are manufactured in the USA from 3 oz polypropylene with reinforced hems, brass grommets, and included turf staples, built to protect your course through years of winter use and backed by a CoverSports warranty.
Built for Greens and Tee Boxes
FieldSaver® golf course covers are engineered for the two surfaces where winter damage costs you the most: putting greens and tee boxes. Both take concentrated traffic from the first round of the season. Both need to be ready when members are. Both respond dramatically to winter protection.
Putting Green Covers
Putting greens are the highest-value, highest-risk surface on the course. Winter damage to a single green can delay your opening by weeks, and sodded replacement runs thousands of dollars per green. FieldSaver® putting green covers protect against snow, ice, frost, and animal activity all winter, then deliver faster spring green-up when the cover comes off. Research-tested polypropylene traps heat and light against the turf canopy, creating a greenhouse effect that maintains color and promotes growth through the coldest months. Protect all 18 greens, plus practice greens and chipping greens where members warm up before every round. Standard sizes fit most green configurations. Custom sizing handles irregular greens, collars, and approach areas.
Tee Box Covers
Tee boxes take pressure from the very first round of the season. Every member hits from them. Every foursome starts there. And because tee boxes concentrate traffic into a small area, winter damage shows up immediately and slowly, worn lines from the first week of play that the turf can't recover from until summer. FieldSaver® tee box covers protect that surface through the winter and accelerate spring green-up so the tees are ready when the first tee time goes out. The rectangular shape of every FieldSaver® cover fits tee box geometry naturally, with no wasted material or oversized seams. Course tee boxes, driving range tee boxes, and grass driving ranges all benefit, facing the same early-season traffic pressure and the same need to be ready when members are.
Research-Proven Spring Green-Up
When does your course open in the spring? That question decides rounds played, F&B revenue, and whether members renew. The Penn State Valentine Turfgrass Research Center answered it with data. Dr. G. W. Hamilton, Jr. and R. B. Raley studied CoverSports® polypropylene covers on a creeping bent grass and annual bluegrass putting green across a full winter, measuring exactly how much faster covered turf delivers playable spring conditions.
Penn State research on CoverSports® covers measured:
| 78% | 60% | 10.5% |
|---|---|---|
| Higher spring growth yield, so greens and tees fill in faster when the cover comes off | Better color rating at spring removal (4.0 vs 2.5), ready for play weeks sooner | Higher January turf canopy temperature, driving the growth that makes earlier opening possible |
Study conducted at Valentine Turfgrass Research Center, Penn State University, by Dr. G. W. Hamilton, Jr. and R. B. Raley. Results measured using Duncan's New Multiple Range Test.
The study quantified what golf course superintendents observe every spring: the courses that cover through winter are ready for play while competitors are still waiting for green-up.

Custom Sizing for Any Golf Course
Every course is different. Green sizes vary, tee boxes come in irregular shapes, and practice areas rarely match standard dimensions. FieldSaver® golf course covers are available in standard sizes that fit most configurations and in fully custom sizes for anything standard can't. Order rectangular covers sized to tee box dimensions, shaped covers for irregular greens and approach areas, or oversized covers for grass driving ranges and turfgrass nurseries where you grow replacement sod for spring repairs. Every cover includes reinforced hems, brass grommets, and turf staples, construction details that keep covers secured and tear-resistant through a full winter of wind and weather. CoverSports manufactures every FieldSaver® cover in the USA. Request a quote with your course's specific measurements, and we'll build covers to fit.
