Reno is in the northern end of the charts for bermuda and alot of the golf course use it, anyhow anyone with any recommendations? I’ve seen “sahara” sold at local stores but sounds like “yuma” might be better. The reflection off my house and deck burns up my fescue. My main concern is the cool nights we get here, 50’s at night, but then 95 to 105 at soil level during the afternoon when the sun is reflecting off the house

Love those deserts! Cold at night and hot during the day.

I would ask the turf manager at the golf course what bermuda he has. He likely has common, but you could ask.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen fescues and blue grasses growing in the lower California deserts and in Phoenix. How often are you watering the fescue? And how many days after you water does the grass dry out? Maybe you need to adjust your watering schedule.
