How do I become a turf manager?

The qualifications to become a turf manager can vary by state, but most employers require some formal education. Many schools offer certification or bachelor’s degree programs in turfgrass science. This discipline requires an understanding of biology, chemistry, business management, and environmental science. Turf managers can also seek voluntary certification from the Sports Turf Management Association and the Golf Course Superintendent Association of America. These certification programs demand a strong knowledge of turf management from anyone looking to pass their exams.
