Why have the majority of the top 15 golf courses in America selected Rain Bird irrigation? Certainly not because they are a marketing power house (they are not) or they “buy” the business of influential courses (they do not).
It must be these top golf courses recognize the reliability and usefulness of the product line.
Hands down Rain Bird owns the reliability banner.
After 35 years as a golf irrigation distributor, we have firsthand experience with many courses in our area. We have studied the failure numbers and found exceedingly low failure rates across the Rain Bird line. (0.43% for rotors!) Users of other brands will attest to living with much higher failure rates.
Rain Bird product lasts longer with drastically fewer failures thus providing the best return on investment. Also important is the benefit of less hassle and downtime.
Usefulness is another key factor. The Rain Bird abilities and features provide a tool for better turf management. Many features are still unique to Rain Bird even though other manufacturers have gone through a generation or two of product attempting to catch up.
Fact is your irrigation system should be a useful turf management tool. Not just to keep the turf green, but to manage conditions. A system with High Distribution Uniformity and sensitive reactive control gives you the tool you need to keep healthy turf, manage roll speeds, and maximize chemical usage. And save money!
Rain Bird simply makes it easier to reliably do more with less hassle and cost. Perhaps that’s why the majority of the top golf courses in America have selected Rain Bird.
