What's so special about bent grass? Bent grass is the "Rolls Royce" of grasses in the golf industry. It is typically found only on greens in this region. Cahoon Plantation is the first bent grass course from tee to fairway to green in this area. This will provide golfers with a smoother more carpet-like surface from which to hit than they are accustomed to at even the finest courses in this area. To quote the USGA Green Section in their report to Cahoon Plantation they state: "There is a great advantage to bent grass... outstanding if not superior playability will exist ... Truly, it is never easy to be the first golf course to try something new and different in an area. This agronomist (Stanley Zontek) compliments the ownership and staff at Cahoon Plantation for making the commitment to do the job "right" and trying to establish a grass that is green more weeks of the year than other grass options in this region of the country."     Explain the "Signature features" of Cahoon Plantation -   Modern golf courses normally have flat fairways with gentle rolls and mounds surrounding the fairway. In traditional Scottish links style courses it is not uncommon to encounter a mound or depression in the middle of a fairway creating the potential for blind shots and difficult lies anywhere on the course. Without trees or other obstructions to contend with, these variables help to create the challenges of a true links style course.
