The Manakin Course underwent a conversion from cool season grasses to Latitude 36 bermudagrass fairways and rough in July 2019. 55 acres of short grass are all mowed together producing a unique and amazingly conditioned golf course. The Manakin greens remained A-1 bent grass. A bunker renovation using Capillary Concrete is currently ongoing along with an in-house irrigation control system changeover to Rainbird 2 wire.
