"I was with the IMG (International Management group) and worked as the Grow-in Manager (later as the Superintendent) in Cikarang G&CC in 1994. The course was designed by Nick Faldo and Evergreen® was chosen for the whole course: tee, fairways, and the rough. I watched Evergreen® with excitement and sometimes with a little doubt. I never handled such grass before; it is native to Indonesia, selected and cultivated exclusively by Everfresh Agro Industries back in 1986. It was a new variety. It turned out to be an excellent choice. Evergreen® is simply beautiful... dark green and strong.

After a long 15 years when I revisit Cikarang, Evergreen® is just as beautiful as it was fist installed, and it has now even replaced Tifdwarf for all the greens!“  

"... In 1996 Tifdwarf was on our green, but it was bad and very difficult to maintain. I made some experimentation with Evergreen® and (finally) replaced all the greens with Evergreen®. It solved the problem..."

"We have no contamination problem on the greens because our greens and the whole course are using only one type of grass which is Evergreen®. We cut down to 3.2 or 3.7 mm and the run is 9 feet plus, they are fast greens!

Evergreen® is strong and less prone to disease, our superintendent has little problem.

We fertilize the fairways only 3 to 4 times a year... We save a lot on maintenance costs.” 

Excerpts from research report: EVERGREEN® BERMUDA GRASS AND ITS COMPARISON WITH HYBRIDS, 1994

"Evergreen® form a very dense, uniform turf of high quality when is grown under proper climatic and cultural conditions. Evergreen® turf provide a very good playing surface for tees, fairways, and roughs, because of the excellent wear tolerance and recuperative potential.

Evergreen® is quite responsive to fertilization and irrigation. Tolerance to close mowing is good. Intensity of culture such as fertilization, mowing, and verticutting frequencies depends on several factors, such as the intended use of the area (tee, fairway, or rough) as well as soil type and fertility.

Evergreen®'s heat and drought hardiness are excellent. It has a low growth habit with an intergradation of stolons and rhizomes that form a very tight sod. The root system is fibrous, extensive, and deep. Tolerant to armyworms and sod webworms. Also quidrought tolerant.

Compared to hybrids like Tifway (Tifton 419) and Tifton 328, Evergreen® was shown to have the following benefits: requires less fertilizer to maintain an acceptable colour and growth rate, requires less mowing, reduces mower clipping due to slow upright growth, more resistance to common pests and diseases of the region, recovers from turf damage more easily due to the spreading capabilities of the stolons and the rhizomes, and generally less expensive to maintain." 

Excerpts from research report: SUSTAINABILITY ON HIGH SALT CONTENT and REACTION TO THE USE OF MICORIZA AND HUMIC ACID

"Based on total stolon counts, density of growth, and the dried–weight of shoots and roots, Evergreen® grass shows tolerance to high salt content in water, up to the third (most severe) stage of watering.

In addition, the use of CMA (micoriza & humic acid) can further improve Evergreen® in the same basis of evaluation."
