THE COURSES
One of the interesting things about the overseed
process at Indian Wells Golf Resort is that our
courses are closed for only 18 days, while others
can shut down from four to five weeks.
In order to accomplish this, we have to be pre-
pared and ready to go. The process begins during
summer when we slow the growth of the Bermuda
and cut the grass low. That way, when the courses
close, we can seed them entirely in the first couple
of days and immediately turn on the irrigation.
We have schedules that sprinkle the seed with a
couple minutes of water every one-to-two hours.
This goes on 24/7 for the first few
days, until the seed and soil become
the perfect wetness, which will allow
the seedlings to sprout in around
five to six days. Around day eight or
nine, we make our first mow. After
that point, the water gets cut back, fertilizers get ap-
plied, and we are off to growing winter ryegrass.
Multiple mows occur over the next few days, then
we prepare all the bunkers, put in new cups and
flagsticks, and get the tee markers out where they
belong. On Day 19, the course is ready for golfers.
We're looking forward to an amazing season, and
having golf groups return will be a sight for sore
eyes. We're used to hosting large events and we look
forward to shining and presenting Indian Wells Golf
Resort to returning guests, residents, and any new
players who come to visit our courses.
