The fairways at Belle Glade are the original Bermuda grass. They are just coming out of their dormant stage and are starting to grow. In a month or so, folks will complain about how deep the Bermuda rough has become, and they can't find their golf balls. Eventually the greens will be converted to TifEagle and the fairways to a hybrid Zoysia or other hybrid grass that grows better in the winter. I experienced the same tight lies at Bonifay (Destin to Ft Walton) last Saturday.
