Golf Courses of Southwest

The weather is getting cooler which means the courses are getting closer to the over seeding period. Over seeding is the process where the colder weather causes the Bermuda grass to go dormant for the winter. In the southwest, Bermuda grass is the dominate grass indigenous to the regions of hot and dry weather. However, in the winter months the grass turns golden brown and is dormant until the summer of the following year. Every course in the southwest over seeds with a type of Rye grass to keep the courses in playable conditions, throughout the months of September through November the courses take about 3 weeks off to plant the new winter Rye. When the courses come out of the over seeding process, they are cart path only for the next three to four weeks. It is just weeks before these courses are in the best possible conditions for play, the fairways play slower and the greens play faster while remaining soft and pliable. The winter months are the bread and butter of Southwest style golf. Bringing beautiful weather with daily highs of 70 degrees and course conditions only found on PGA Tour stops, the Southwest is the ideal destination for a golf vacation.
