The best part? You’re invited to experience golf at Harbor Club during Masters Week. So start planning your visit today – and consider making it a new, fun, annual getaway.

Harbor Club’s A1/A4 bentgrass greens dominate in spring

Spring is one of the best times to enjoy golf at Harbor Club. Whether you get to enjoy our Masters Week golf specials or not, anytime in spring is a great time to play. Our Penn A-1 / Penn A-4 creeping bentgrass turf is a cool-season grass that thrives from October through May. When asked about Harbor Club’s greens, our head golf pro, Keith Kelly, shared this fascinating fact with Pete Pappas (@pgapappas) on Instagram: “They’re A1/A4 bentgrass greens. They’re the same thing that’s at Augusta National. We don’t quite have the SubAir systems that they do, but they are very nice greens. In the spring and fall, they generally run anywhere from 13 to 15, depending on how firm our superintendent decides to make them. In the summertime, we slow them down a little bit to make them survive, but they’re still usually running between 11 and 12.”
