Turf Talk

Greywolf has driven golfers to new heights, literally. With a clubhouse elevation of 3800 feet and an elevation change of over 300 feet, from its highest to lowest point, golfers will feel as though they have been driven on a rollercoaster through the mountains.

However, what sets Greywolf apart from other mountain golf courses, are not the elevation changes, spectacular views or imaginative design, but rather the turf that the golfers will play on. Greywolf was designed and built with, not only, bentgrass greens, which is typical for most northern courses, but also bentgrass tees and fairways, giving the course a very dramatic and manicured appearance. Bentgrass is a much finer textured and tighter knit grass than your typical Kentucky bluegrass fairway. For this reason the golfer will find that the ball will roll much farther on bentgrass.

Being situated in the mountains and having an extended and deep snow pack the bentgrass is exposed to an extremely high amount of disease pressure. However, with a tried and tested winterization program, the bentgrass has proven to be very hardy and successful in warding off disease throughout the winter months. The extended snow cover at Greywolf provides invaluable moisture to the entire golf course during the spring thaw which results in a rapid “greening” of the turf once exposed to the sunlight.
