Bermuda Grass on Golf Courses: What You Need to Know

From my observation, Bentgrass really does shine in cooler climates, but it can be patchy in intense heat. I’d love to hear if anyone has dealt with that firsthand.

That’s a good point, Patrick! Personally, I had a tough time keeping Bentgrass healthy last summer. It faced some serious challenges with that heat wave!

GolfersI’ve spoken with really prefer Bermuda in the southern regions. The growth and recovery are key selling points. But, does it require different maintenance practices?

Definitely! Bermuda needs deeper watering during dry spells and can benefit from proper lawn mowing. It’s a commitment!

Haha, it feels like maintaining Bermuda grass can be like managing a toddler sometimes—needy but rewarding! Anyone else relate?
