Tees & Fairways Grass Seed
Tees & Fairways Grass Seed is a premium golf course grass seed mixture developed specifically for golf tees and fairways where appearance, durability and rapid recovery are essential. Designed for professional golf course managers, sports turf contractors and greenkeepers, this carefully balanced mixture produces a fine, dense playing surface capable of withstanding repeated play while maintaining outstanding presentation throughout the season.
Golf tees experience constant wear from golfers taking divots, while fairways require a dense, uniform turf capable of tolerating close mowing and frequent traffic. Tees & Fairways Grass Seed has been formulated to provide the ideal combination of rapid establishment, excellent wear tolerance and strong regenerative growth.
The professional mixture contains:
- 30% CYRENA Perennial Ryegrass
- 20% HEIDRUN Strong Creeping Red Fescue
- 20% VENICE Perennial Ryegrass
- 10% CALDRIS Chewings Fescue
- 20% TROPHY Chewings Fescue
Each grass species has been selected for its individual strengths.
Perennial Ryegrass provides rapid germination and quick establishment, allowing newly constructed or renovated tees to become established quickly while delivering exceptional wear tolerance throughout the playing season.
Strong Creeping Red Fescue spreads naturally through underground rhizomes, helping repair divot damage and increasing turf density over time. This creeping habit produces a stronger, more resilient surface capable of recovering quickly from regular play.
Chewings Fescue contributes excellent turf density, finer leaf texture and improved visual quality while maintaining outstanding close mowing performance.
The result is a professional-quality golf turf that offers:
- Rapid establishment
- Excellent wear tolerance
- Fast recovery from divot damage
- Fine, attractive appearance
- Dense, uniform sward
- Excellent close mowing performance
- Outstanding year-round presentation
- Long-term persistence under regular play
Tees & Fairways Grass Seed is ideally suited for:
- Golf tees
- Golf fairways
- Practice areas
- Golf academies
- Driving range tee lines
- Golf course renovations
- New golf course construction
- Championship courses
- Private golf clubs
- Municipal golf courses
One of the greatest advantages of this mixture is its high proportion of rhizomatous grasses, allowing damaged areas to recover rapidly following play. The combination of elite perennial ryegrasses with creeping and fine fescues creates a durable turf capable of maintaining excellent ball lie, player footing and visual presentation throughout the golfing season.
As part of the Designer Grass Seed Range, every seed is treated with HEADSTART® GOLD, an advanced biological seed treatment that promotes faster germination, stronger root development and vigorous early growth. This helps ensure reliable establishment and improved long-term turf performance under UK conditions.
Whether constructing new golf facilities or renovating established tees and fairways, Tees & Fairways Grass Seedprovides the quality, durability and professional performance demanded by modern golf course management.
Sowing & Establishment
Sow Tees & Fairways Grass Seed during March to May or late August to October, when soil temperatures are consistently above 8°C.
Prepare a clean, level and firm seedbed before sowing at the recommended rate of 35 g/m². Lightly rake the seed into the surface and consolidate with a roller to maximise seed-to-soil contact. Keep the soil moist during germination to encourage rapid establishment.
Growing On
The perennial ryegrasses provide quick early establishment while the creeping and fine fescues continue developing a dense, resilient playing surface capable of recovering from repeated divot damage.
Carry out the first cut when the grass reaches approximately 40–50 mm, gradually reducing the mowing height to the recommended 15 mm. Continue with a regular programme of mowing, feeding and aeration to maintain optimum turf quality.
Ongoing Maintenance
Maintain the turf at approximately 15 mm for optimum golf tee and fairway performance.
Regular aeration, scarification and seasonal overseeding will help maintain turf density and improve recovery from wear. Balanced fertiliser applications and irrigation during prolonged dry periods will encourage healthy growth and consistent year-round presentation.
