Modest Green Speeds

Hoiana Shores Golf Club

Vietnam

Written by: Long Nguyen

We have a unique set of greens for golfers in Asia, very large and undulating playing on TifEagle. With such slopes and a resort based clientele we cannot have greens running too fast as this would likely lead to slow play and frustration. We keep our greens at a modest 9.7 for day to day play. We can speed this up for tournament play, but we do not want to stress out the grass. In the winter season, when growth slows, we can avoid too much mowing and use newly purchased rollers to prepare the greens for play.
