年間会員制で洋芝のパブリックコース
I believe 洋芝 is referring to a type of turf or grass that is used on golf courses. I looked up "western turf" and "western grass" on Google, but that seemed to turn up only names of companies that sell grass/turf. I guess this is referring to some kind of grass that is used in "the West", but in "the West" it is probably not called western grass (or at least that is my assumption)! Does anyone know if there is a common name for this grass?
Thanks.

Comment: "Based on Snowbees's reference, 洋芝 being possibly various grasses from the West, I'm just going to say Western grass to avoid being too specific... Thanks, everyone."

It all depends on the CONTEXT and the target audience. North American golfers only distinguish between two types: greens and rough.(joke)
