There are grasses that thrive in warm climates and grasses that thrive in cooler climates. We have warm climate grasses in Florida. Blue grass, fescues and bent grass are predominant up north. Those grasses would not survive in this part of the country.

The golf courses down are primarily Bermuda grass which requires a lot of maintenance. Bermuda goes dormant in the winter so they over seed with annual rye grass. The rye grass dies when the weather changes and does not come back.

Unless we want to get into the maintenance necessary for Bermuda, we can choose from St Augustine Bent, Zoysia and Bahia. None of those are anything like northern grasses.
