2023 Arizona Golf Overseeding Schedule

Below you will find the 2023 Arizona golf overseed schedule for all courses offered by Arizona Golf Vacations.

Overseeding in golf is the process of planting cool-season grass seed over existing warm-season grass during the fall season. The cool-season grasses used for overseeding in golf are typically ryegrass, fescue, and bluegrass. This process is done to maintain year-round green grass and to provide a better playing surface during the winter months, when the warm-season grass goes dormant.

Arizona golf overseeding involves preparing the existing warm-season grass by cutting it very short and removing the clippings. This is followed by spreading the cool-season grass seed over the warm-season grass, usually at a rate of 10-20 pounds per 1,000 square feet. The seed is then watered frequently to ensure it germinates and grows properly. Once the new grass is established, the warm-season grass will eventually go dormant and the cool-season grass will take over.

Overseeding is a common practice on golf courses in areas with warm climates, such as Arizona or Palm Springs. It is done to provide year-round playing surfaces and to maintain the aesthetic appearance of the course. Be sure to contact the golf courses during this timeframe and ask about conditions of the best golf courses in Arizona.
