TapTurf September Awards 2026: The Best Turfs in Nashik, Pune and Mumbai

Twelve awards across three cities, decided by reviews, not by who paid. Here are the turfs that earned them in September.

Every month, players leave thousands of ratings on the turfs they play at. Most of that feedback stays buried in Google Maps. The TapTurf Awards pull it together: one look at which grounds in Nashik, Pune and Mumbai earned the most love in September 2026, and why.

Nashik

Nashik's top end is tight: three turfs sit at 4.9 or 5.0, and the city's two biggest clubs still pull in more reviews than anything else in the state outside Mumbai.

Naikwadipura, Nashik

The highest Google rating of any Nashik turf with 100 or more reviews. Cricket first, football too. It also finishes second for both sport picks below.

Turf of the Month

DN Parande Football And Cricket Turf

★ 5(261)

Honourable mentions

  • Vedant Sports Academy, Tathawade: 4.8 from 134 reviews, runner-up for Turf of the Month and this week's Most Trending Turf in Pune.
  • The Paddock Turf, Erandwane: 5.0 from 42 reviews, the Rising Star runner-up.
  • Hindu Gymkhana Kothrud: 4.7 from 387 reviews, cricket nets, box cricket, football and pickleball.

Mumbai

Mumbai is where the review counts get big: three venues above 1,400 reviews. There is no Rising Star here because every Mumbai turf on TapTurf either has 100 or more reviews or fewer than 15, so the city gets a Best for Cricket award instead.

Turf of the Month

Lucky Sports Hub

★ 4.9(215)

Andheri East, Mumbai

4.9 from 215 reviews, the best rating in the city among turfs with 100 or more reviews. Box cricket and football near Saki Vihar. It also takes Best for Football and Best for Box Cricket in Mumbai.

TapTurf Players' Picks

Reviews on TapTurf itself are still young, 13 so far across all three cities, so this is a nod rather than a ranking. These are the turfs TapTurf players rated 5 stars, in their own words.

The Turf Ground

★ 4.6(437)

Kothrud, Pune

Three 5-star TapTurf reviews in September, the most of any turf. Google has it at 4.6 from 437 reviews.

“This is a great turf with plenty of space to host multiple games. The prices are reasonable, and the equipment is also well maintained.”

Kridadham Premium Multisport Club

★ 5(6)

Rane Nagar, Nashik

Two 5-star TapTurf reviews. Too new for a Google-based award (6 reviews there), which is exactly what this section is for.

“Amazing turf! There are two turfs in here with new grass condition and lights.”

TapTurf player, Kridadham Premium Multisport Club

Want your turf on the October list?

Awards follow the reviews, so the fastest way to move a turf up is to review it. After your next game, open the turf's page on TapTurf and leave a rating. The October Awards publish in the first week of November.

Who decides the TapTurf Awards?
Nobody at TapTurf picks favourites. Winners are read straight from Google ratings and review counts as shown on TapTurf, plus reviews left on TapTurf, using the rules in the box at the top of this article.
Why does one turf win several awards?
Because it earned them. If a turf has the best rating for football and also the best rating overall, we say so on one card rather than repeating it.
Can a turf owner pay to be included?
No. There is no sponsored placement in the awards. Turf owners can only improve their position the same way players do: by running a good turf that gets good reviews.
How do I review a turf on TapTurf?
Open the turf's page, scroll to Reviews and tap Write a review. You need to be signed in with your phone number or Google account.
