Hitherto I have recommended Barenbrug seed  but there has been a quantum leap in the price so I have switched to Origin's R8 as used at Surbiton Croquet Club. Surbiton along with Letchworth were the first clubs that used predominantly dwarf rye grass some 20 years ago. Since then rye has become the norm because it is very hard wearing and recovers from stress and drought very well. Surbiton hosts World level events so that speaks volumes.
