Zoysia Intermediates



Zoysia Intermediate on #1



 This past summer we converted our cool season (Bluegrass) Intermediates to Zoysia.  Several factors were driving this decision including less water usage, improved disease tolerance, along with an improved year round surface.

With one year under our belt with the new turf, we couldn't be happier with the results.  Following an unusually cold winter, the Intermediates came out of winter in great shape and continue to improve as the heat of summer begins to kick in.

From a management standpoint, our watering practices have seen the greatest benefit with the conversion.  In the past the Bluegrass was constantly needing more water compared to the surrounding Zoysia fairway and Fescue rough.  Not only are we using less water, resulting in significant savings for our water budget, we are also able to keep the fairways drier, resulting in a firmer healthier fairway.
