NEW YORK, Dec. 21, 2006 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- If you need a place to play in New York City, the Golf Club at Chelsea Piers offers one of the most unique settings for people to perfect their golfing skills year round. The facility rests on the Hudson River creating a facility in an environment that is exposed to conditions most other facilities are not.
The natural movement of the Pier along with extreme heat, cold, and moisture makes it a difficult range to surface.

The Range is 78,000 square feet and it will be comprised of a monofilament golf specific turf with beautiful target greens, bunkers, and water features. With many captivating installations nationwide, TourTurf has provided confidence and assurance to many customers that have very different and demanding needs.
"We are thrilled with the opportunity to provide the people of New York with a surface to golf on year-round," said FieldTurf Tarkett CEO John Gilman. "This area holds a special place in our hearts at FieldTurf since our multi-purpose field installations at both Pier 40 in Hudson River Park and the Field House soccer fields at Chelsea Piers on Pier 62. The incredible performance and durability of our product is surely the best testament to its quality. By selecting our unique monofilament fiber, the Chelsea Piers Golf Club on the Hudson River will be at the cutting edge in terms of turf technology."
