What type of grass is used on the course?
On fairways and tees, the Paspalum vaginatum predominates, on the rough predominates the Bermuda 419. The greens are seeded with Bentgrass T1 and the entrances to the greens are seeded with Bermuda Latitude. During the winter we reseed the rough and tees with Ryegrass. We choose this type of grass because it is the one that best survives our irrigation water that has a very high concentration of salt. Paspalum vaginatum is a summer grass, which grows best when the temperature is above 25º Celsius.
