Mediterra Men's Invitational vs. PGA Tour Transitions Championship

With another Men's Invitational in the books, I thought it would be fun to compare the course conditioning between Mediterra and Innisbrook Resort host of the PGA Tour Transitions Championship being held this week. The data for the Transitions Championship was found on the GCSAA website.

Tournament Green Speed:

Mediterra - 12'6"
Transitions Championship - 11'

Tournament Mowing Heights:

Mediterra Greens - 0.085"
Transitions Greens - 0.130"

Mediterra Tees - 0.250"
Transitions Tees - 0.325"

Mediterra Fairways - 0.475"
Transitions Tees - 0.325"

Mediterra Rough - 1.75"
Transitions Rough - 2.5"


Innisbrook Resort this time of year is overseeded with Poa trivialis on Greens and Perennial Ryegrass on Tees, Fairways, and Roughs. The look and playability would be different than the Bermudagrass that we have at this time of year in SW Florida, but it is still interesting to compare the two golf courses.
