Today, the vision of Terry Friedman and the visionary design of Tom Fazio come together to create a truly world-class golf course, fully capable of hosting major championships. Greens, tees and fairways are an emerald carpet of Bentgrass, the "Cadillac of Grasses." Roughs are a blend of four bluegrass varieties, and all surrounding areas are maintained in their natural states.
Victoria National was the first major course to install a SubAir in-ground vault system, providing all 18 greens and both practice greens with temperature and moisture control and CO2 evacuation. The irrigation system features integrated fertilization as well as a state-of-the-art Bio-Jet system that grows and injects microbes specially developed to control turf diseases.
The entire agronomical operation at Victoria National is controlled by computers. A sensor in the ground measures soil temperature and a heat pump kicks in to blow warm air under the greens when the air temperature drops below 40 degrees. If the greens get too hot, the system cools them down and when Mother Nature drops rain, vacuum pumps suck out all the moisture down to the roots.
The result is unprecedented quality, consistency and control-from the first tee to your final putt.
