I had the opportunity to play a course with rye fairways that were very green and bermuda roughs which are dormant wheat colored.

The look is great, the fairways look like ribbons.

R there any grasses that have a wheat/brownish color when not dormant that can be used for this look that play well? What about other colors that nature gives us in the fall. Can they be replicated?

The fall colors in the Colorado mountains are wonderful.

What do others think of this look?

Live Jupiter, Fl, was  4 handicap, played top 100 US, top 75 World. Great memories, no longer play, 4 back surgeries. I don't miss a lot of things about golf, life is simpler with out it. I miss my 60 degree wedge shots, don't miss nasty weather, icing, back spasms. Last course I played was Augusta

In the Southeast rye fairways and dormant Bermuda are the norm from November thru Feb.

Fescue turns brown and reddish in the summer.

Mully grass has a beautiful purple hue in spring and fall I believe in the Southeast.
