The resort course in southern Iowa is doing decently well. Only the tee boxes and greens have full irrigation systems. Greens are still turning brown. As the article says, water won't fix 20 days in the 90s and Heat Index in the 110 range. The fairways are bentgrass, so they are doing fine.

Unfortunately, its the rough that really has taken a beating. Last year, with all the rain, about 1/3 of the rough washed out. This year, they did a lot of work to reseed, and now we are in high heat, and the rough is again, taking a very large beating.

Crazy midwest weather.
