Bentgrass Creeping bentgrass fainvays gained popularity around 1983, and since fairways typically require 10 times more seed than greens, the demand for quality bentgrass seed has risen dramatically. For more than a decade, Pennway has been the answer for an economical fairway blend. Pennway contains Penncross, Penneagle and creeping bentgrass. Certified Pennway contains Penncross, Penneagle and PennLinks for genetic diversity while meeting Oregon's rigid certification standards.
Some superintendents prefer combined strengths of several components for their bentgrass needs.
Some were blending their own while others ordered mixtures from their distributor. PennTrio and Pennway are the only blends that may use Penn component names. Mixing'Penn Pals' with any other species or bent variety will invalidate the use of Penn names as ingredients. This increasingly popular blend is ideally suited to permanent tees, fairways and greens as well as for winter overseeding. Nu-Penn blend was developed for overseeding and interseeding existing greens, as well as for new seeding.
