Putting off the Course


If you are like me the concept of synthetic grass seems odd, almost laughable. Perhaps its just being from the Northwest where things are so flush and green all year round made it hard to appreciate. But last summer we actually did research the possibility of synthetic grass after the sprinkler system failed for the third time, with no explanation. Luckily my dad is a third generation farmer and was able to help us get it back to a lush green.

Today I was alerted of a company out of Kennewick that can install indoor and outdoor applications of putting greens with the finest artificial grass and synthetic turf in the industry. They also install full turf and grass yards, Tee Lines and have worked on large commercial application.

With free quotes and availability to work in Desert Aire it might just be the solution many of us are looking for. Give them a call (509)734-8988

Worlds Most Extreme Golf Hole

Desert Aire has great views of the river, and we all enjoy having a nice quiet course to play on. But think now if Saddle Mountain was just about seven miles closer, and imagine taking a chopper up from the airport to the top of the mountain and hitting down to the green on the course.

That's what South Africa’s Legends Golf & Safari Resort decided to do on the 19th hole that offers up a unique par 3. Requiring a helicopter to reach the tee, the teebox sits 1,400 feet above the green and on average sees the players ball taking 30 seconds to reach the green. Total Yards: 640
