The decision was taken to reduce the current Bermudagrass footprint of the Ocean Course via the establishment of native grass varieties (Sporobolus, Little Blue Stem, Grama); low maintenance turf varieties (cow grass); and ornamental ground covers (wedelia, sweet potato vine, alternanthera, ground peanut).

Additionally, we are also trialling the use of similar plant types to create buffer zones around water bodies.
