Our problem is which grass to use on the Roughs we need something that is non invasive and doesnt require irrigation. What do u recommend?

It's just the tee boxes and greens will be synthetic. As there are, what, 3 or 4 par 3's, then there are only a few holes where you are hitting off the synthetic stuff, assuming you don't tee up at par 3's.
