The Benefits of Fall Overseeding & Native Grass Integration on Golf Courses

Fall is the best time to plant the cool season native grasses, fine fescues and Spring blooming wildflowers. Taking advantage of cooler nighttime temps, maybe couse closure for overseeding and other events provide the time to incorporate these into the property. I've already begun working and shipping items to courses looking to start soon.

Utilizing the out of play areas or deeper rough to enhance it's look and help create a better habitat for other flora and fauna is the goal. having the golfers notice these areas as places of beauty and environmental stewardship is a plus. I'm always looking for courses willing to either create or expand on this. Last year, one pair really stepped up. The Club at Morningside and Thunderbird Country Club superintendents decided to create a wildflower Super Bloom in the drainage wash that runs through their properties. It was a sight to see 12 acres ablaze with color for three months, changing with the month to another dominating plant. Looking forward to this year expanding on this.

The use of native grasses especially native fine fescues has really been on the upswing too. Looking forward to some projects this Fall utilizing them more for lower input and water conserving situations.

If I can be of any assistance with this endeavor or answer some questions, please feel free to contact me.
