I'm sure you have all been wondering, like I have, what species of grass are considered acceptable for grass tennis courts. It appears the type of grass is not mandated, according to Tennis Australia's National Court Surface Policy's description of a grass court is natural grass grown from seed.

Here are some grasses that I propose we make grass courts out of: 1. Blue Fescue Grass – Festuca glauca

2. Windmill Grass – Chloris truncata

3. Snow Grass – Poa sieberiana

4. Zebra grass (Miscanthus sinensis 'Zebrinus')

5. Purple fountain grass (Pennisetum setaceum 'Rubrum')

6. Pink muhly grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris)

#i assume by grass we mean belonging to the family poaceae #now let me tell you about the description of clay #'Unbound mineral aggregate'#we can have a lot of fun with that too #not to mention that Australia already uses Ant Bed for clay courts #other surfaces covered in the policy include carpet #concrete #ashpahlt #and wood #i assume wood would be indoor courts but i've never heard of wood tennis courts #tennis #it is grass season
