The purpose of this study was to introduce new bentgrass cultivars and its characteristics and describe problems when the new bentgrass cultivars are planted in the golf courses in Korea without the investigation of new cultivar and its adaptation to the climate of Korea. Since the middle of 1990s, the application of new bentgrass cultivars has increased in the newly-constructed Korean Golf courses. However, due to the limitation of information on new cultivars with regard to Korean weather and other conditions, new released bentgrass cultivars have shown problems in their growth and adaptation to golf courses in Korea. Therefore, it is supposed to elucidate the characteristics of new bentgrass cultivars which developed since the 1990s. In conclusion, this study found that newly introduced betgrass cultivars should be evaluated for the Korea weather condition and geographical situation of individual golf course. Moreover, appropriate management of new bentgrass cultivars should be established and supplied to the course manager and turfgrass growers. Then, golf courses in Korea could be provided good quality of turfgrass which is placed on putting green to customer and players.
