ParWest Turf

What ParWest Turf does

ParWest Turf is a US-based, privately held e-commerce distributor of golf course maintenance supplies, headquartered in Huntington Beach, California, and operating since 2002. The company aggregates more than twenty product categories — including green accessories (cups, flags, flagsticks), driving range equipment, irrigation fittings and repair parts, golf course signage, bunker rakes, traffic control products, course-marking paint, tee accessories, turf and agronomic supplies, clubhouse furnishings, equipment parts, safety products, and power/hand tools — into a single online storefront (parwest.com), with fulfillment from company inventory and direct manufacturer drop-ships, supported by worldwide shipping.

The company differentiates through a Custom Sign and Flag Shop offering US-made made-to-order signs, branded range bags, and tournament-ready flagsticks, and through an online Equipment Part Selector that helps maintenance staff identify tines, tires, bedknives, reels, and rollers. It resells products from national brands such as Par Aide, Spectrum, Smith-Blair, Andersons, Underhill, and Standard Golf, and offers NET 30 terms, tax-exempt purchasing, and a 12-inbox specialized customer service operation.

ParWest generates revenue primarily through transactional unit-priced e-commerce sales to golf course superintendents, PGA professionals, general managers, irrigators, and maintenance mechanics, with secondary reach into sports turf professionals and residential homeowners. It maintains national supply relationships with major course management companies including Troon Golf, Marriott Golf, OB Sports, BrightView Golf Maintenance, American Golf, Invited Clubs, Western Golf Properties, Indigo Sports, and Landscapes Unlimited, and is listed within the Avendra hospitality procurement network. The firm has 11-50 employees, has not raised institutional funding, and pursues modest community-engagement activity through GCSAA Foundation programs and a partnership with the Orangewood Foundation.
