Here is the answer for fine turf finish grading. I have a local friend who is a 20 year Golf Course Superintendent. He specialized as a grow-in super. Built courses for Fazio, Jacobsen, Benz, and Anderson. Had 2 of them nationally rated.
I am not an expert and I didn't magically ABSORB this knowledge by being around him, this is what he said:
First step is shaping, soils are shaped by specialized dozer artists known as shapers. They make sure the water flows and everything is compacted into place (6" of topsoil is stripped off and subsoils are shaped and then topsoil is replaced.
Second step is they use a light weight PULL TYPE boxblade as a land plane to fill in low spots and dozer tracks. Mounted box blades are not used as they dig a new hole when a tractor tire drops into a low spot and leave a high spot when they hit a high spot.
Final step is to loosen and finish grade with a Gill soil pulverizer to a depth of 4". The Gill is the key to a perfect finish and it is worked across the terrain like a paint roller in a W pattern. Baby butt smooth, and uniformly firm (NO Settling) after a skilled Gill operator is finished.
