PH Holdings Acquires Turf Pride USA, Uniting Industry Leaders in Turf and Land Management

PH Holdings, the parent company of PH Outdoors and PH Turf, is proud to announce the acquisition of Turf Pride USA, a leading manufacturer of professional turf maintenance equipment. This acquisition brings together some of the most trusted names in golf and sports turf care and marks a new chapter in innovation and service for turf professionals across the country.

Founded by Don Cotton, Turf Pride USA has built a reputation for rugged, reliable solutions that enhance turf health and maintenance efficiency. The company’s flagship products—including the Core Collector, deep tine aerators, and the Trion™ series of lifts—have become staples on golf courses and sports fields nationwide.

“After 23 years of growing Turf Pride, I wanted to ensure the next chapter was in good hands,” said Don Cotton. “PH Holdings shares our core values, work ethic, and passion for this industry. I couldn’t ask for a better team to continue the mission.”

The acquisition strengthens PH Holdings’ presence in the turf care market. Its two subsidiaries—PH Turf, a leading distributor of high-end turf machinery, and PH Outdoors, a premier name in land management and wildlife habitat equipment—will now be complemented by Turf Pride’s U.S.-based manufacturing and engineering expertise.

Paul Hollis, CEO of PH Holdings, commented: “Don Cotton is a legend in our industry. Turf Pride’s Core Collector and Trion lifts are among the most respected equipment on the market. We’re honored to carry that legacy forward and bring these American-built products to even more turf professionals.”

Turf Pride’s operations will remain in place, with continued focus on innovation, quality, and serving the loyal customer base that has trusted the brand for decades.
