time
getting set
for summer
It's a season of change at Indian Wells
By Joe Williams, Director of Golf,

ith our season in the desert
winding down and summer ap-
proaching, we can expect a few
changes in climate – as well as
our playing surfaces at Indian Wells Golf Resort.
As the temperatures begin to increase, we'll
also start to see a transition of our turfgrass from
a winter rye to a summer Bermuda. This type of
grass can provide an excellent playing surface,
but it requires very warm temperatures to
thrive. It also is a grass that produces a lot of or-
ganic matter in the soils, which is why we
choose to aerify during the summer months.

mark your calendars
The golf maintenance team has scheduled
work to be completed over the next two to three
months. This allows our team to preform its
regularly scheduled projects, but also undertake
some new ones as well.
Work begins on
the Players Course
in late June.
