Top Courses Continue to Choose Rain Bird
Deerefield Golf & Country Club | Brockport, NY
"We are a course that understands the importance of constantly improving. There were two deciding factors for selecting Rain Bird. The first was the ease of adding to the Rain Bird IC System™. The other deciding factor, and just as important, was the product support, of my primarily my salesman Alex Ludwig, and Rain Bird's GSP Team."
—Nick Pentz, Superintendent
Medalist Golf Club | Hobe Sound, Florida
“Rain Bird’s hybrid system and the ability to run both satellites and IC System from one computer was a huge selling point for us. Our Central Control is now the heart of the golf course. It runs everything.”

Welcome to the Rain Bird Family
Pinehurst Resort & Country Club | Pinehurst, North Carolina
“We are excited to be installing Rain Bird’s IC System™ and CirrusPRO™ software at The Cradle and look forward to using this new technology on Pinehurst Resort’s 10th course. Our new partnership with Rain Bird and their dedication to the Green Start Academy is positioning Pinehurst to further improve our water management for the future.”
—Bob Farren, Director of Golf Course Management
The Nest Golf Club | Bonita Springs, Florida
“Our courses are sandy, and when the tubes in our old hydraulic system leaked, we could never find them because they don't leave a wet spot like they do further north. With that system constantly failing, we needed a change. Our new Rain Bird IC system gives us individual head control, allowing us to spot and address any issues quickly — for us, that's huge.”
—Jason Zimmerman, Director of Greens and Grounds
Shadow Wood Country Club | Bonita Springs, Florida
“Shadow Woods chose Rain Bird because of the customer service, timely response, and price. After Hurricane Ian almost all of our Satellite boxes were damaged and not working at 100% efficiency. Rain Bird stepped in, to deliver and install the new PAR+ES Satellite System in a timely manner, but also at a better price. After using Rain Bird irrigation central, we could not be happier.”
—Ryan Czaplewski, Preserve Golf Course Superintendent
The Covey | Big Easy Ranch, Texas
“Switching to the Rain Bird IC SystemTM and CirrusPROTM Software has been a complete game changer for us. The ability to make adjustments in the field has allowed us to maximize our water usage and minimize hot areas. Rain Bird goes far above the rest to improve their products and more importantly their relationships. We here at The Covey wouldn't want it any other way. ”
—Ben Lauber, Director of Agronomy
The Apawamis Club | Rye, New York
“At the end of the day, the decision to partner with Rain Bird, was a pretty easy one.
