Up until a few years ago the courses were overseeded every fall, but the practice was stopped. After the disastrous conditions last winter I wouldn’t be surprised if they started doing it again, but that ship has sailed this year. Overseeding needs to be done early to mid fall, while it’s still growing season, so the ryegrass can establish itself before the colder winter weather arrives.
