Wellington, FL
CapillaryFlow, a global leader in golf course and sports field drainage, moisture control, and irrigation solutions, proudly announces the successful installation of four Capillary Hydroponic grass tennis courts at The Breakers Palm Beach – a 140-acre, oceanfront resort located in Palm Beach, Florida.
Capillary Hydroponics is an advanced sub-surface irrigation system that ensures the growth of perfect grass anywhere. Its patented method delivers oxygenated, nutrient-rich water directly to the root zone, using up to 85% less water while promoting deeper roots and consistently lush, healthy grass. It is ideal for golf courses, tennis courts, sports fields, and equestrian arenas – even in the harshest climates.
This construction project builds on a long-standing partnership between CapillaryFlow and The Breakers; the hotel had previously adopted CapillaryFlow’s advanced irrigation and drainage solutions across its golf courses with excellent results.
"We are incredibly proud to debut Capillary Hydroponics on tennis courts worldwide, and The Breakers is the perfect place for this breakthrough,” said Martin Sternberg, CGCS, Founder of CapillaryFlow. “Our technology, which revolutionizes the way grass is grown, makes it possible to create exceptional tennis courts while conserving valuable water resources. This is just the beginning of a new era for sustainable sports infrastructure.”
Mark Reid, Director of Golf and Grounds Maintenance at The Breakers, has long championed CapillaryFlow, having successfully utilized its technology in the resort’s golf course bunker lining systems. “After witnessing remarkable outcomes, I was confident that Capillary Hydroponics would be the ideal design foundation for our innovative new grass tennis courts,” said Reid. “This project is truly groundbreaking – we are growing pristine grass without overhead sprinklers while conserving water. The end product has exceeded our expectations, and we could not be happier.” The Breakers officially unveiled its hydroponic grass courts on March 21, 2025 with a special exhibition match featuring tennis legends Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf, Andy Roddick and Kim Clijsters.
