All sod is harvested fresh to order.

We did a 30-acre Tahoma 31® fairway renovation at Gaillardia County Club, installed Tahoma 31® on the new Rugby field at Southern Nazarene University, and sprigged Tahoma 31® on the fairways of Kickingbird Golf Club. You can also find Tahoma 31® at the USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium, the turf track at the Kentucky Derby, the Arkansas Razorbacks football field, Southern Hills in Tulsa where the recent PGA Championship was held, Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Philadelphia Eagles, and just released State Farm Stadium in Glendale Arizona will host Superbowl LVII on Tahoma 31! I guess the Eagles will have the “Home Turf” advantage this year! On May 6th, 2023, we got the opportunity to install our sand based Tahoma 31 on the south endzone of Owen field, home of OU Sooner football!

#1 in Cold Tolerance: Winter Survivability

The winter of 2013 – 2014 swept a polar vortex into the Midwest that created record-low temperatures. Dr. Cale Bigelow, a professor of turf science and ecology at Purdue University, located in West Lafayette, Indiana, participated in the NTEP study. In a December 2019 article in Golf Course Management magazine, Dr. Bigelow was quoted as saying only 9 of 42 bermudagrasses tested survived with at least 50% ground cover by spring. Some 14 of the grasses completely died. By the end of the NTEP study, Tahoma 31® was rated by far with the greatest winter survivability in Indiana at only 4% winter kill. Mean scores in two states where winter survivability was measured, Indiana & Kentucky, confirmed Tahoma 31’s top status in the three-year study period, 2014 – 2017.

#1 in Shade Tolerance

In tests that measured evapotranspiration rates (mm d-1) under non-limiting soil moisture conditions in Oklahoma (Amgain et al., 2018), Tahoma 31® fared best, while TifTuf used the most water. Overall, Tahoma 31 used 18% less water than TifTuf.

#1 in Traffic Tolerance

Tahoma 31® exhibits excellent traffic tolerance compared to all other bermudagrass cultivars tested.
