Golf Course Advisory Board Regular Meeting · 2026-05-11 · agenda_item

The City of Winter Park's Golf Course Advisory Board is planning to refine its fertility program for the upcoming 2026 growing season. This plan involves using a granular fertilizer, like Yara Turf Royale, to promote growth and density, along with a balanced fertilizer containing roughly 50% sulfate-based and 50% urea-based nitrogen for immediate and lasting effects. The current foliar nutrition program will continue, with adjustments made as needed to support recovery. Supplemental nitrogen applications are also planned, including potassium sulfate to boost plant vigor and stress tolerance. This initiative is currently under review and represents an early opportunity for businesses to engage. The project will involve site preparation for fertilizer application, including potential soil testing and equipment calibration, followed by the application of granular and foliar fertilizers. Ongoing maintenance will require regular supply and application services. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers specializing in turf management, fertilizer supply, and landscape maintenance could find opportunities by connecting early before final plans and procurement are set.
