The course closed May 1 to begin the work. “This renovation has taken a lot of preparation and planning, not only with finding efficient ways to conserve water, but also making sure the course provides our members and visiting golfers with a superior golfing experience,” Dutt said. Reflection Bay officials are making this latest move despite being in compliance with all rules. “Bermuda fairways and roughs are some of the most efficient turf types from a water conservation standpoint.”ĭrought conditions in the western United States have forced water agencies to impose strict regulations on use, including at golf courses. “We have used Bermuda grass for both fairways and roughs since the course opened in 1998,” Dutt said. The move is just the latest by the course, which considers itself one of the most water conscious in Southern Nevada. Equally important is it thrives using gray water.”
“Paspalum is the ideal choice for our redesign because it is salt tolerant, heat and humidity resistant, and doesn’t show ball marks. “Bentgrass is a grass that often struggles in extremely hot, humid and arid conditions,” said Eric Dutt, manager of operations at the course. Reflection Bay Golf Club at Lake Las Vegas has closed while all of the grasses are changed on the greens to a more drought-resistant strain, converting the 4.5 acres of Bentgrass to paspalum in a move that will save more than 31 million gallons of water per year. Golfers looking to play at one of the area’s best courses have one less option over the coming weeks.
