Bermuda grass is considered(by green supt's)as a weed here...
in florida and yet the par 4 at Sweetgum has a terrible fairway with sparse grass cover. now go over to southern star or Yankee Clipper and the par 4 fairways are gorgeous, thick and fun to play. really good at no. 9 on tarpon boil and no.5 at sandhill...all really fine fairways.
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. |
Different and better green keepers.
Southern and Yankee are almost always in good condition. Two of our favorite courses. I think the same gang do Tarpon and Redfish as well. |
I think the greens, fairways and tee boxes are in 100% better condition above 466 than the ones between 466 and 44.

The grass on our lawn is a weed also, in some spots it’s perfect and in other spots not so much. It’s executive golf, what do you expect? If you get a hard packed lie on a par four, try pinching the ball. It’s good practice for when you pay to play the Championship courses.
|
The ages of the courses may also influence the turf conditions. The GOOD grass courses have been around a lot longer.

Bermuda a weed ?? You must be joking.. Go a little further up north.. start at georgia.. and most wouldnt let their dogs crap on St Augustine because it is too rough, ugly and spindly.
|
Bermuda won’t grow well in shade. Not a good option for lawns. Nematodes eat at it and it can go bad. Just like a lawn, there will be issues
|
Looks kinda like poiana in a lot of the greens here. That's a weed.
|
yeah....I'd disagree....

Played Sweetgum Friday and, I’m no expert, but doesn’t grass go dormant in the winter and brown out. The greens were beautiful. My foursome had a good time. I guess just playing the game is fun for me.
|
Playing behind a foursome the other day and smell weed drifting towards us… I would like to thank them for making it a wonderful day! Had a nice lunch & an early nap…
