Overseeding FAQs:
This is the annual process when the courses will each close for a couple of weeks in the mid-September to mid-October time frame (exact dates will vary by course) as the summer bermuda grass in place will start to go dormant. The courses will then scalp all of the Bermuda grass off of the course and plant the new winter rye grass over it. With the cooler temperatures coming in the winter rye grass will take and grow in over the dormant Bermuda grass. So a couple of weeks later the courses will have a brand new layer of lush green winter rye grass in place to last throughout the Fall, Winter and Spring months.
The summer Bermuda grass in Arizona will go dormant once the cooler temperatures come in during the early fall months of mid-September to mid-October. The overseeding process is performed so the courses in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area will have lush green grass throughout our Fall, Winter and Spring months.
After the completion of the overseeding process the courses will typically put the cart path only rule in place on every hole to allow the freshly planted winter rye grass to establish itself and make it through the Fall, Winter and Spring months. Driving a golf cart on the fresh winter rye grass before it is fully established may cause damage to the grass that is unrepairable. Most courses will keep the cart path only rule in place typically from 4 to 8 weeks depending on the golf course, the weather and how the overseeding procedure takes. A Golf Vacation Specialist will have all the information to help ensure you have no surprises during your stay.
Courses will keep the cart path only rule in place for typically 4-8 weeks after the completion of the overseeding process (this will vary from course to course and there are a few exceptions).
Yes, on occasion certain courses may allow guests to have a “medical flag” that may allow golfers to drive to the golf ball at a 90 degree angle prior to the cart path only rule being lifted. Not all courses offer this but some will allow it. A lot will depend on when the over seeding process has been performed, the weather and how the overseeding procedure takes.
The 90-degree rule means that a golfer is supposed to drive their cart along the cart path until the cart has reached a point where a 90-degree turn would cause the cart to drive laterally across the fairway directly to your golf ball. The 90 degree cart rule is when the courses allow the convenience of permitting golfers to drive to their golf ball but also tries to limit the time the carts spend on the fairway grass.
The mid-September to mid-October time frame can be a very good time to come out to the Scottsdale/Phoenix area to golf. This is when the weather is starting to cool down and there are always many premier courses open for play. You can also take advantage of some good value this time of year as well. All of our Golf Vacation Specialists know the courses, overseeding dates and conditions well and would be able to customize a great trip for you regardless of when you come out.
