No doubt Sean but don't discount the boldness of Tobacco Road that showed that all golf courses are not alike.

Yes, I agree about Tobacco Road, but it isn't as polished as #2 or Mid Pines, even though it is far edgier and polarizing.

Splendid tour Sean. Most impressive. Thanks for sharing. Greens very 'green' - occasional maintenance I presume.
All the best

If the greens are an ultradwarf bermuda, which they appear to be,  they've already begun the winter "coloring process." This must be done well in advance of the turf actually going dormant. Much better than overseeding for the turf and the player.

I missed this the first time around...really interesting.  Is colouring a common practice for these newish Bermuda strains?

I believe coloring the new Bermuda strains has been around for 10+ years. At first it was purely aesthetic. Now,if I understand correctly,the newer (5 years?) "paint" actually provides some protection to the greens.
