I have readed in this forum that many Grand Strand-area courses have resurfaced their greens in summer 2018 with new turf.  My list include International Club, Diamondback at Woodland Valley, Myrtlewood-PineHills, Sandpiper Bay, Tradition Club and Brick Landing- with the Sunday UltraDwarf Bermudagras. Just wondering if there is other ones. Very possible, that I missed somes.

Not sure the type of green Arcadian Shores put in 2 years ago, but their greens are some of the healthiest we have played this season.

Crow Creek replaced their greens with some kind of bentgrass.

Crow Creek went from bent to bent - they weren't great this summer - should be in good shape now

Glen Dornoch replaced theirs.  Also they took the greens from Heather Glen and put them on Sea Trails not sure which course there.

Add to your list for 2018:   
GLEN DORNOCH:  New Champion greens.
INDIGO CREEK:  New Sunday Greens. Bunkers, irrigation, trees down, clubhouse renovations.
SANDPIPER BAY:  Bay 9, new Tifeagle greens.
PANTHERS RUN:  New Tifeagle greens.
MOORLAND:  New Champion Greens.
  
Arcadian Shores has new Sunday hybrid greens, which may be why most of the new
greens in MB are using Sunday.   
 
Rivers Edge also has the Sunday hybrid, but RE hasn't been as good as Arcadian.

Great. Thanks! Many courses are trying to cope against the South Carolina’s random winter cold snaps. According to some experts, the Sunday UltraDwarf Bermudagrass is also a good choice during the warm season. It is a no brainer for superintendants and owners who are cost conscious by definition.

Surf Club replaced their greens in 2017, and right now they are the best greens on the Strand.

Lions Paw re-sodded 10 of their greens with Mini Verde in 2018.

Tigers Eye installed new Tif-Eagle greens in 2017.

Look up treacherous in the dictionary - there's a picture of Surf Club's greens!
