Two different types of grass.
budgets), but I do expect the greens to roll decent enough so chipping and putting on them won’t ruin your short game when you play a Championship course. Since the refurbished Executive greens use the same preferred hybrid grass as the Championship courses (and maintenance companies), there is no reason the greens shouldn’t consistently roll somewhat close to the Champs. I suppose it matters less for folks that play exclusively Executive courses, since that’s what they’re used too, but it sucks for folks that like to play both types of courses. It takes several holes to adapt to the greens at Tierra Del Sol, after playing Chula Vista. A put that would only make it halfway to the hole at Chula Vista would roll past the hole and off the green at TDS, if it didn’t hit the cup. That’s just not right.[/QUOTE]
TDS has Tif Eagle greens, fast pretty much year round. Chula has Tif Grand greens, slow in the Summer puffy and harder to mow. The HOC will be higher to prevent scalping and reel chatter, need to verticut, top dress, roll greens more. In the Winter lower maintenance, holds its color better and can lower the HOC.
