Ballyneal Golf Course in Colorado on sand dunes. Fine fescue and browntop bentgrass with a little smooth meadowgrass to start. Now, mostly fine fescue on greens and many fairways
It is shown that combinations cannot only complement each other, they can be better than one cultivar by itself
required about 60% of the reference ET whilst annual meadowgrass required close to 100%. Browntop bentgrass is being increasingly looked at for both golf course fairways and home lawns in the United States. In both fairway trials and low maintenance turf trials it has shown considerable promise.
Newer cultivars have higher resistance to diseases and more heat tolerance
They are often blended with fine fescues for both uses. They have been utilised for many years and occur naturally in these areas in the UK, but were often overlooked for home usage, partially since dryland bentgrass and browntop were considered the same species. In a low maintenance turf trial, with little fertiliser and no irrigation, in the Upper Midwest states, the bronwtop (colonial) bentgrass had high performance. Turf breeders have developed
demonstrated lower water usage. Usage as a sports turf has increased due to the improved characteristics. Usually, these are blended with smooth stalk meadowgrass, but may also have been blended with improved turf- type intermediate or annual ryegrass.
Species and cultivar diversity provides a buffer against environmental changes
Care must still be taken to select improved cultivars in the desired species. Evaluate the cultivar or species for the characteristics that are valuable to you. Make sure you have cultivars and species that are actively growing during the heaviest use time, so repair can occur. In Southern England, you may

want to see what is performing the best in more continental climates. Currently, the UK is in a drought situation. I remember walking Hyde Park under a similar scenario a few years ago, and thinking a good turf-type tall fescue might be a better choice than the brown perennial ryegrass that was present.
