Same grass, same conditions....what gives? the par 4 fairways at palmetto are also notoriously poorly conditioned. You may as well be playing hard packed dirt...as a matter of fact hard packed dirt would play better.
I really wished that the developers had started with Bermuda for the lawns years ago and continued with it; it’s much easier to take care of than Zoysia or St. Augustine.
