The sustainable choice for healthy greens
FLAGSTICK is a high-performance creeping bentgrass developed to support modern, sustainable golf course management. Its unique growth habit makes it less aggressive than many traditional creeping bent varieties, allowing it to coexist successfully with red fescue and create more balanced, resilient turf surfaces.
Strong disease resistance
One of FLAGSTICK's key advantages is its exceptional tolerance to Dollar Spot and other important turf diseases. By maintaining a more uniform and consistent surface throughout the growing season, it helps reduce the impact of disease outbreaks and supports lower fungicide use. This makes it particularly valuable for golf courses transitioning towards reduced chemical inputs.
Reliable performance across management programmes
FLAGSTICK performs equally well under both low and high fertility programmes, providing flexibility for different maintenance strategies. Its fine leaf texture, high density, rapid tillering and strong establishment ensure excellent playing quality on greens, tees and fairways. The combination of disease resistance, turf quality and management flexibility makes FLAGSTICK a dependable solution for the future of golf course maintenance.
