Looks like lots of courses in Vegars are closed for overseeding late
Sept. Can
you tell me: (i) what this is and how it impacts play; (2) does it
impact play in the week or two BEFORE overseeding: (3) does it impact
play in the week or two AFTER overseeding - and, if so, how?
THANKS

The warm weather Bermuda type grasses go dormant in cooler weather so they
overseed with annual rye grass. Unless prep work is being done, there
shouldn't be an impact before overseeding. Courses close to overseed so the
rye has a chance to grow in. After overseeding, they may still be
restricting carts to the rough for a week or two to minimize damaging new
grass.
Playing: Bermuda vs. overseeded Bermuda are two different worlds once the
rye has taken hold.

Don't they cut the grass short just before they overseed?

Isn't that usually the first thing done when they close to overseed? If the
super is allowed sufficient to overseed - the original post said two weeks -
then he'll be forced to so some prep work before the actual closing.

I'm at a Conference in Salt Lake in 2 weeks. Wife and I were going to
drive to St. George / Mesquite to play afterwards, but, it looks like
the seeding schedule will make finding a variety of courses difficult.
We're staying in the SLC area and playing up there instead. Hope the
weather holds!

The Estrada in St. George doesn't aereate (sp) their greens until Sept. 25th
and they are going private on . 1st, so that might be good for a place in
St. George. Coral Canyon says they've already aereateededed their greens and
do it in a way that gets done quickly, something about smaller holes and top
dressing, etc. and that their greens will be good by this week-end.
Good luck, have fun, commit to the line of your putts. : -)

The overseeding is the greens. Some of the Vegas courses have a staggered
schedule so that one of their courses is open while the other is closed. It
can be pretty restrictive. The greens are bad for at least a couple of
weeks. When are you planning your trip? There are some pretty nice courses
in Mesquite, not far away and they have some great specials ... room and
green fee for about $100.

Check my facts, though. I goofy sometimes, but not about it being the
greens, maybe the length of time they are screwed up after overseeding. Not
about the deal at the oasis. P.S. If you decide on the Oasis and have an

Interesting that they overseed greens and play off dormant fairways.
Many of the newer courses in Florida have TifEagle greens and don't oversed
since it is less apt to go dormant in cooler temperatures. They will
overseed fairways that have less hardy Bermudas.

I called Las Vegas Golf Club which is the muni course here and they are
reseeding now. The front nine is closed and they are playing off temporary
greens on the back. The person I talked to wasn't too sure about reseeding
the fairways but thought they do at the same time. I've lived here off and
on for a long time, and never noticed much abaout the fairways, I guess
because most of the coursed are shut down when doing both and I assumed that
it was just greens, my bad. It is cart paths only on the courses too.
I called the Oasis in Mesquite and they and the Palms and the lady said all
of the Mesquite courses are also reseeding now or soon, even the one with
bent grass. Apparently they don't mow the new greens very close so they are
slow and probably bumpy for a couple of weeks, I would guess, after
reseeding.
I hope I didn't add to the confusion too much. I wonder if there is anyone
who really has a handle on this. It soule be a project.

All the courses around here close the side they are overseeding for a
day to do the work. Then we must keep carts out of fairways for a week.
The topdressed greens are played the next day. Wonder why they have to
shut down Vegas courses?

Those seemed to be the only two that I saw available (and that I didn't
have to pay big guano per round to play - being the cheap-@rse that I
am ;-). Lots of good things are being said about that area - I just
wish the conference had been scheduled for another time...
