Buy Sod/SodStar’s Premium Blue-Tag Sod Shines in Award-Winning Renovations
Posted by Buy Sod/SodStar on Jun 5th 2025
Buy Sod/SodStar played a pivotal role in two standout golf course renovations recognized in Golf Inc. Magazine's 2025 Renovation of the Year awards. Both projects featured blue-tag certified sod—TifTuf Bermudagrass and Prizm Zoysia—underscoring Buy Sod/SodStar's growing reputation as the preferred natural turfgrass/ blue-tag certified sod provider for top-tier golf courses in the Southeastern U.S.
Dunedin Golf Club – Honorable Mention, Public Courses
Located in Florida, the Dunedin Golf Club restoration embraced TifTuf Bermudagrass, a choice well-suited to the state's heat and drought conditions. The club returned to its Donald Ross roots, blending historical preservation with modern turf performance. TifTuf’s resilience and exceptional color retention made it an ideal choice for the fairways and tees, elevating both aesthetics and playability.
Old Fort Golf Club – Honorable Mention, Municipal Courses
Old Fort Golf Club in Tennessee underwent a greens renovation that prominently featured Prizm Zoysia, a SodStar-exclusive ultra-fine zoysiagrass variety. According to Golf Inc., the project “showcases the best in municipal course renovation—high-impact, highly playable, and grounded in community access.” Course superintendent Thomas Campbell praised the transformation, noting:
“We are now one of the few public golf courses in the country with zoysia greens. It plays like a private club.”
By integrating Prizm Zoysia, Old Fort achieved elite-level putting surfaces that offer dense, smooth play with reduced maintenance—a major win for a public facility.
