George Fazio Course Undergoing Grass Replacement (January-March 2010)
Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort is currently upgrading the grass on the award-winning George Fazio Golf Course. The TifDwarf Bermudagrass is being replaced with a more shade-tolerant, state-of-the-art Diamond Zoysia grass, which will promote superior and consistent year-round playing conditions for golfers.

Diamond Zoysia, a warm-weather grass variety developed at Texas A&M, boasts excellent tolerance to low-light conditions, salty soil and high traffic. It retains its color throughout most of the year in many southern climates eliminating the necessity for fall cool season grass over-seed and the corresponding spring transition to warm season grass. These attributes make it an ideal choice for the George Fazio Course at Palmetto Dunes.

The new grass will provide a more consistent experience across all 19 greens, (18 holes and 1 practice green), year-round. The grass conversion, which officially began on Monday, January 25, will be completed by mid-March. The Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront Course and Arthur Hills Course at Palmetto Dunes both remain open for play during the grass conversion at the George Fazio Course.
