The Right Golf Turf for Tees and Fairways

Perennial Ryegrass

The best turf grass for golf courses on Vancouver Island and the Vancouver Lower Mainland is the Perennial Ryegrass. It thrives well in our temperate rainforest climate and is versatile, robust and lush-looking sod!

Kentucky Bluegrass

Kentucky Bluegrass is ideal for golf courses in the BC Interior and Alberta, where the climate is more extreme. The drier soils in these regions require a hardier grass, like the Kentucky Bluegrass, to better resist drought and disease.

TWCA-Certified Drought Tolerant Sod

The sod blend is specifically formulated for Western Turf Farms by BrettYoung Seeds and consists of Perennial Ryegrass, Chewing Fescue and Kentucky Bluegrass.

Custom Grown Golf Turf

Whether for fairways, tee boxes or putting greens, Western Turf Farms can grow custom sod that meets your custom preferences and specifications for your golf course. You can choose the grass type and blend, growing medium, root zone fibre reinforcement, thickness, as well as the final cutting height at delivery time. We can create a custom turf blend from any of the seeds that we use, or we can use the seed and growing products that you provide to us. To grow quality custom sod, please plan ahead for 8 to 12 months depending on the type of grass.

Preparing for Golf Turf Installation and Maintenance

To give you the best options for your golf turf projects, we offer a variety of additional products, services and resources to prepare you for golf turf installation and maintenance. We deliver sand and soil for topdressing, and we can also provide topdressing application equipment with a trained operator if required.

Washed Sand Top Dressing

Our washed sand for top dressing is produced from high quality sand and gravel reserves in the Lower Mainland. This is environmentally clean sand with a consistent and uniform particle size distribution that is superior to most local sand pits. The sand is treated in a sand-processing wash plant to meet the most restrictive standards of the construction industry and monitored under a Quality Assurance Program.

Tips for Top Dressing Greens

As a general rule, topdressing material should closely match the composition of the existing soil profile. Topdressing also may be used to modify the soil profile, though this takes multiple applications over a number of years. The use of varying topdressing materials can result in a problem of layering, with different textured soils stacked in layers within the soil profile. We offer a variety of soil and sand to match nearly any composition.

Big Roll Sod Installation

We offer all of our sod in standard or big rolls, and also provide big roll installation equipment with trained installers.

Standard rolls of 2ft wide (4.5 ft long = 1 sq yard or 9 sq ft).
Large rolls 2 or 4ft wide, up to 125ft long (28 – 56 sq yards).

Overseeding

Overseeding is an important part of maintaining any high traffic areas, extending the life and play time. We provide all of our seed blends in 25 kg bags for overseeding your golf courses. If you don’t have the staff or the equipment, we can provide this as a service.
