During my training neither I nor the CFIs were allowed to land on turf.
Soon as I passed the check ride I could rent from the same FBO and land
anywhere I wanted without additional training but the CFIs were still
under the no turf rule. First flight after the checkride I headed for a
turf strip and haven't looked back since. I suspect those CFIs would be
the last people someone seeking guidance on turf landings would want to
talk to. For those seeking a CFIs advice be very, very careful in
choosing the CFI and make sure they have experience in the area you are
seeking advice.

That seems like a truly bizarre rule. Was this insurance related,
perhaps? I can't see any sane FBO having these sort of rules voluntarily.

No one ever accused this particular FBO of being sane. I have come across
similar bizarre rules. They are often blamed on insurance companies but
seldom is that the reason. Some people like making rules no matter how
idiotic. Thank goodness I don't have to put up the rental nonsense anymore.
