COLD SEASON GRASSES FOR GOLF COURSE

Kentucky Bluegrass: This species of the Poa genus is the most widely used turfgrass in the Northern U.S. Not only golf courses, but personal lawns enjoy using this grass for its rich color and bounce.

Bentgrass: Capable of handling intensely low mowing heights, this grass is ideal for golf course greens and tees. Bentgrass is extremely versatile and can be used in a variety of climate zones.

Tall Fescue: A popular cool-season species, Tall Fescue handles heat and drought better than any other cool-season variety. While it resembles its Ryegrass and Bluegrass cousins, its distinctive lines and the boat-shaped tip can help you tell it apart.

If your turfgrass isn’t one of your main concerns on your course, it's time to reprioritize. As the game of golf relies on the conditions of the course, all the customer service and amenities in the world can’t hide an unplayable course. Optimizing your golf course maintenance plan is something you can easily do by sitting down with a golf professional and looking line by line at your current process.
