Happy Birthday to the Greens!

10 years ago today our greens at Isla Del Sol were planted with a new grass called Seashore Paspalum. At the time, our greens were Tifdwarf bermudagrass that were 11 years old. The Tifdwarf required winter overseeding, had numerous pest issues and was not tolerant of the poor water quality that we often receive through our reclaimed irrigation water supply. Seashore Paspalum presented an option that was much more tolerant of the inherent issues we face at Isla. While it took some time for the new greens to mature, Isla has built a strong reputation of having beautiful putting surfaces and has become a go-to source of information for other facilities looking to maintain quality seashore paspalum greens.
