Every fall, most Arizona courses shut down for overseeding. Fairways go brown. Tee sheets go blank. Members wait... and wait.

Not at FireRock Country Club. Thanks to our course renovation and re-grassing, the calendar stays wide open. Carts roll on schedule. Greens stay firm. Fairways — though dormant in color — remain fast, playable, and consistent. That’s the promise of Stadium Zoysia™.

BUILT FOR THE DESERT

This isn’t just a visual upgrade to Gary Panks’ original design — it’s a strategic one. Bermudagrass struggles in the shade. Ryegrass looks lush but demands heavy care and chemical removal.

Stadium Zoysia thrives in Scottsdale’s harsh conditions — extreme heat, minimal rainfall, and high-salinity water—and doesn’t need seasonal replacement.

SUSTAINABLE & SUPERIOR

FireRock’s switch to Stadium Zoysia will save millions of gallons of water each year, reduce chemical use, and cut back on mowing needs.

But make no mistake — this was a performance-driven decision. “We chose Zoysia to give our members the best possible playing surface,” says FireRock General Manager Tim Geesey. “While the environmental perks are a bonus, this turf plays better. Period.”

FEEL THE DIFFERENCE

Step onto the renovated Gary Panks layout and you’ll notice it instantly. Stadium Zoysia is plush yet firm, fast underfoot, and consistently smooth. Balls sit up. Divots come clean. Recovery is quick.

This is turf that rewards precision year-round. And with its short dormancy, there’s no more “cart-path only” season or patchy spring transitions.

MORE GOLF. BETTER GOLF.

With no fall shutdowns or spring turf transitions, FireRock’s playable season now runs from October through July. That means more rounds — and no compromises.
