Why Field Testing Matters: How Real-World Feedback Shapes Our Golf Course Equipment

Why Field Testing Matters: How Real-World Feedback Shapes Our Golf Course Equipment

At P2 Golf Products, we believe the best designs start with listening. Whether it’s feedback from superintendents, maintenance teams, or even the teenage staff on the course, we take every opportunity to learn how we can improve. That’s why we attend trade shows—not for sales, but to connect with industry professionals, hear their pain points, and find solutions. It’s all about being of service to the courses that rely on our equipment every day.

The Role of Field Testing

Real-world feedback is the cornerstone of our innovation process. Once we develop a concept, the real challenge begins: putting it to the test on some of the most demanding golf courses in our network. We provide these prototypes for free and ask our partners to “give it their worst.” Trust us—the teenage staff on those courses don’t hold back when told to test equipment to its limits!

Field testing allows us to evaluate durability, performance, and efficiency in environments no lab can replicate. Uneven terrain, extreme weather, and constant use are just a few of the challenges our equipment faces during testing. It’s through these rigorous trials that we refine our products, ensuring they meet the high standards of our customers.

A Peek at What’s Next

Right now, we’re working on two exciting new products. While the details are top secret, we can share a little about each. The first prototype is already in the hands of a select group of courses, undergoing rigorous testing to ensure it performs under the toughest conditions. If positive feedback continues, we’re excited to announce that this product will debut at the PGA Orlando Show, where we’ll reveal it to the industry.

The second product, slated for debut in 2026, is something completely new—an innovation we believe could revolutionize golf ball management. This is more than an improvement; it’s a leap forward that has the potential to redefine how courses handle ball collection, cleaning, and distribution. We’re taking the time to perfect every detail to ensure it lives up to its game-changing potential.

Why It Matters

Field testing isn’t just about durability—it’s about delivering equipment that solves real problems and improves day-to-day operations. By collaborating directly with courses, we ensure that our products don’t just meet expectations; they exceed them.

For us, the process is simple: listen, innovate, test, refine, and deliver. This commitment to excellence is why P2 Golf Products remains a trusted partner for courses around the world.
