October Is the Heart of Arizona Overseed Season.
Fall brings beautiful Arizona weather. Temps are finally dipping below 100 degrees. Mornings are cool. And you can roll down a window or two while driving in the evening. For golfers, October is the start of prime golf weather and the Arizona Overseed Schedule October 2019.
It is a time when we start seeing brief closures at local Arizona courses for overseeding, which prepares the grass for winter playing conditions. Closures last a minimum of 10 days, but can sometimes last up to 3 weeks. Greens crews will focus on making the switch from Bermudagrass to ryegrass during this brief window.

Here are some highlights of the most well-known public golf courses from the Arizona Overseed Schedule October 2019. Note: These schedules are current as of today. However, courses may change closure periods due to expected weather changes. Always a good idea to call the course before showing up!
