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
