All the runners are St. Augustine. St. Augustine grass is a "weed". In '05-'06 The Villages switched from St. Augustine to Zoysia because Zoysia grass needs less water and if you water it too much you kill it. Why they switched back to St. Augustine is probably because they got a better deal. I hate St. Augustine grass because it is too tough to cut, chinch bugs, and is too spongy to walk on.
