In April, Streamsong Resort will begin a massive course enhancement project that will see the installation of a new grass type, Mach 1, on all 18 greens of both its Blue and Red courses. The original plan was to conduct the project in phases (Blue in 2020, Red in 2021), but given the uncertainties and restrictions revolving around the Coronavirus pandemic, Streamsong’s management team has made the decision to go ahead with regrassing both courses at the same time in hopes that all three of the resort’s courses will be available for play in fall 2020.
Once planted, Streamsong will be the first golf destination in the world to feature the ultradwarf bermudagrass on an 18-hole layout.
Mach 1 has sprung onto the scene to rave reviews—with an ultrafine texture and hearty root structure, it’s been celebrated as one of the smoothest rolling, cleanest, and purest turfs in the industry. The new grass is also both heat and drought tolerant, a perfect match for the Central Florida resort’s seasonal environment.
