Redlands Country Club in Southern California turned to Profile® Field & Fairway® to solve moisture and rooting issues on its historic pushup greens without investing in a remodel. The inorganic ceramic particle, with 74% internal pore space, was injected via the DryJect® system to relieve compaction, improve drainage and support deeper, healthier roots. Bi-annual applications beginning in 2021 have reduced extreme wet and dry spots, narrowing moisture variation from about 30–40% to 15–20%. Members report firmer, more consistent greens, helping prolong the life of the existing surfaces.
