Pitchmark Repair Tool

This is a proper greenkeeper’s tool for a constant problem: pitchmarks and indentations that spoil an otherwise perfect surface. Whether it’s from golf balls, animal hooves, or light vehicle traffic, these marks need fixing quickly and cleanly.

Our Pitchmark Repair Tool is a simple, ground-driven solution. You just press down on the handle, and its five robust tines drive into the ground to lift the compacted turf from underneath. This levels the surface without tearing or damaging the surrounding area, leaving a professional finish every time. It’s a much faster and more effective method than repairing marks individually by hand.

Made in our UK workshop, the tool is built to last. The tines are stainless steel, so they won’t rust or wear, even after thousands of uses in damp conditions. It’s a solid, reliable piece of kit that does exactly what you need it to do. It’s no surprise it’s trusted by greenkeepers at top courses, including Royal County Down and Galgorm Castle Golf Clubs.

How It Works

• Position the five tines over the centre of the pitchmark or indentation.
• Firmly press down on the handle using your body weight.
• The mechanism automatically drives the tines into the ground and lifts the compacted turf from below, levelling the surface.
• Lift the tool out, tamp the repaired area gently with your foot, and move on to the next one. Job done.

FAQ

What kind of damage can this repair?

It’s ideal for golf ball pitchmarks, but also works well on indentations from animal hooves (like deer or badgers), and minor ruts from light vehicle treads.

Will it damage the green surface?

No, the tool is designed for minimal disruption. It lifts the compacted soil from beneath, rather than pulling or tearing the turf at the surface.

What are the tines made from?

They are made from durable stainless steel to prevent rust and ensure they last for years of frequent use.

Is it heavy to use all day?

It weighs around 2.25kg, making it light enough for greenkeepers and groundsmen to carry and use efficiently across large areas without getting knackered.
