2. Turf Loss/Contributing Factors

Golf Course Advisory Board Regular Meeting · 2026-05-11 · agenda_item

The City of Winter Park's Golf Course Advisory Board is reviewing turf loss and its causes at local golf courses. The problem appears to stem from a combination of disease, such as take-all root rot, and winter die-back due to cold weather. A recovery plan is being considered to restore turf density and health. This review is currently under consideration, indicating an early stage in the public process. The proposed recovery plan would likely involve site preparation, soil treatment, reseeding or sodding, and ongoing maintenance. Contractors specializing in landscape and lawn services, as well as suppliers of turf, soil, and related materials, may find opportunities. Engaging early could provide an advantage as plans develop.
