This is where it starts.

Before a single variety ever reaches a golf course, a sports field, or a grower, it spends years right here. Plots like these are part of a process that can take over 15 years from start to finish, with more than 10,000 varieties evaluated along the way.

We are not just growing grass. We are watching it. Tracking it. Asking what the market actually needs, where existing varieties fall short, and whether what we have in the ground is genuinely better or just different.

Most of what gets planted in these plots never makes it to market. That is the point. The varieties that make it through have earned it.

For years, desert courses have accepted the high costs, heavy water usage, and seasonal shutdowns of winter overseeding as a necessary evil.

FireRock Country Club just proved there’s a better way. By installing Stadium Zoysia that was developed by Bladerunner Farms and supplied by one of our licensed growers, West Coast Turf/Western Sod, on tees, fairways, and green surrounds, they've unlocked year-round play while cutting water consumption by millions of gallons.

TPC Craig Ranch on display, home of this weeks's THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson and part of the Invited Clubs network.

Stadium Zoysia provided by Thomas Turfgrass was installed throughout the fairways, collars, and approach areas as part of the club’s recent renovation project.

The renovation began immediately following last year’s tournament and was brought to tournament-ready conditions in less than a year, a significant achievement for a project of this scale in North Texas.

Projects like this continue to challenge the long-standing perception that Zoysia cannot establish quickly enough for high-level tournament conditions.

Take a look at our on-site research golf course in Poteet, Texas.

This course allows us to evaluate how different varieties perform throughout real golf course environments and conditions.

Maintained under standard day-to-day conditions, it gives us the opportunity to observe performance, recovery, and playability in a setting that reflects the realities many facilities face.

Research continues both in the plots and on the course as we work to better understand long-term turf performance across a wide range of environments.

Members of the Bladerunner Farms team recently attended the 20th annual Texas Cup in San Antonio at Brackenridge Park Golf Course - Est. 1916 along with the Texas Gulf Coast Chapter GCSA May meeting at Oso Beach Golf Course

Always good spending time with others across the golf and turf industry and staying connected through events that continue to support the profession across Texas.

Appreciate everyone who took the time to connect throughout both events.

Players are asking for better playing surfaces.

A recent ESPN article highlighted that NFL players strongly prefer high-quality natural grass fields for consistency, safety, and performance.

At the stadium level, that kind of surface takes time to establish and mature.

Projects across international sports venues, including Bukit Jalil National Stadium, Gelora B**g Karno Stadium, and SCG Ba Ria Stadium, have showcased the performance of Zeon and Stadium Zoysia under demanding conditions. Working alongside our partners at Sports Turf Solutions these projects highlight the importance of wear tolerance, recovery, and long-term performance.

High-performance natural grass is not just about installation. It is about research, management, and time.

At Bladerunner Farms, everything starts in the field.

For over 30 years, our focus has been developing turf that performs under real-world conditions.

From where it’s grown to where it’s installed, the goal is simple:
consistency, durability, and performance you can rely on.

As the season gets underway, we’ll be sharing more from the field and what goes into every acre we grow.

Ten years ago, Zeon Zoysia was installed at Olympic Golf Course in Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 Summer Olympics.

This past April, the course hosted the 71st Brazil Open on PGA TOUR Americas with the same fairways and tees still in play.

A decade later, the performance is still there.
