Over-seeding is the planting of Rye grass which will withstand the cooler temperatures of the winter. This process is commonplace for courses in the Southwest. After over-seeeding, carts are usually restricted to the paths for a few months. Because this process involves growing new grass, the fairways are a little longer and the course is a little wetter. The course is still in great shape and very playable during a recent over-seed. Please ask the golf shop for an update on course conditions if you are scheduled.
