Crystal BlueLinks delivers a distinctive medium green color combined with unmatched adaptability, making it one of the most versatile bentgrasses available today. Specifically developed for greens, tees, and fairways, Crystal BlueLinks® thrives in a wide range of growing environments, showing exceptional performance even under shaded conditions. It is the most shade-tolerant bentgrass cultivar on the market, providing turf managers greater flexibility when facing challenging course layouts.
This elite variety germinates quickly — even in cooler temperatures — and greens up faster in the spring while maintaining its vibrant color deeper into the fall. With very deep rooting and strong lateral growth, Crystal BlueLinks produces a dense, resilient playing surface that recovers rapidly from injury, aeration, and divots. Its outstanding heat, cold, and wear tolerance ensures reliable year-round performance across diverse climates.
In addition to its impressive durability, Crystal BlueLinks exhibits excellent disease resistance, particularly against brown patch, dollar spot, and Microdochium/Fusarium patch. It also performs exceptionally well in high saline soils and when irrigated with effluent water, making it an ideal choice for courses seeking beauty, toughness, and sustainability in one premium bentgrass solution.
Crystal BlueLinks is the perfect fit for courses seeking fast establishment, outstanding playability, and consistently exceptional turf quality across greens, tees, and fairways.
