Are Golf Courses Mowed?

All grass on a golf course is susceptible to scalping, but greens, because of their low mowing heights, are especially vulnerable. Greens typically need to be mown at least once every three days. Without that regular tending, they become overgrown. Getting them back up to speed is tough.

Are golf courses mowed every day?

How often putting greens are mowed is dependent on staff size and budget, but grass type and weather also play a role. On average, greens are mowed at least five days per week, and in most cases six or seven days per week.

Do golf courses use real grass?

The operators of most modern-day courses prefer bentgrass or Bermuda grass on the greens. Bentgrass does well in northern climates, and Bermuda grass grows well in southern climates. You can cut both extremely low without stressing the plant, and create a smooth putting surface.
