TifEagle ultradwarf Bermudagrass growing in popularity

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (March 27, 2012) – The P. B. and Pete Dye designed Prestwick Country Club will be changing its greens to TifEagle ultradwarf Bermudagrass this summer. Scheduled to close June 17, reopening is planned for September 15, 2012.

In addition to Prestwick, the King’s North Course at Myrtle Beach National and Barefoot Resort’s Dye Club and Love Course are closing this spring/summer to install ultradwarf Bermuda on greens.

A number of recognizable Myrtle Beach Area courses have changed to TifEagle over the past decade. Included on that list are True Blue Plantation, Tidewater Plantation & Golf, Oyster Bay Golf Links and Legends Resort’s Moorland Course.

This newer brand of bermudagrass is as close to the speed and quality of bentgrass, but much easier to maintain.
