Rembert, South Carolina (November 9, 2012) - Modern Turf, Inc., a South-Carolina-based turfgrass production company, has this week completed installation of new putting greens at the Rocky River Golf Club in Concord, North Carolina.

The 6,970-yard, par-72 Rocky River Course was designed by noted course architect Dan Maples.

Hank Kerfoot, president of Modern Turf, said, “Rocky River Golf Club enjoys a terrific reputation and central location. Management and members both knew they wanted to convert the existing bentgrass turf, as well as to create a larger putting green for college players from the University of North Carolina in Charlotte. We were thrilled they agreed to go with MiniVerde Ultradwarf Bermudagrass.

The MiniVerde Ultradwarf Bermudagrass produces deep roots and is characterized by fine leaf blades, short internodes and high shoot density. It is known for its durability, tolerance of heat and drought conditions, as well as its environmental footprint. MiniVerde has been the top-rated bermudagrass in the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) trials during the past several years.

Added Kerfoot, “We have seen great results on previous courses we have converted. We are confident that Rocky River players of all abilities will enjoy adapting the new surface.”
