New Greens at Desert Pines Golf Club


Ever wondered what a few million dollars does in term of upgrading a golf course? Me too. I freak when I have to spend $20 for sod to patch my lawn. I spoke to the guys at Desert Pines Golf Club in Las Vegas, who did a major overhaul on their greens this past year. They literally dug up each and every green, replaced the soil with fresh, nutrient rich dirt, improved the drainage and added new bent grass putting surfaces. They also made a lot of visual enhancements to the course which is billed as the “Pinehurst of Vegas.” Yesterday the greens were rolling 10.5 and man the golf course looks terrific. If you haven’t seen it in the past few months you ought to check it out. I’m going to go buy more sod for my lawn.
