short grass

Kept low greenery

Short grass is grass that grows low to the ground, either naturally or from mowing.

The term often refers specifically to the drought-resistant grasses of the Great Plains shortgrass prairie: buffalo grass, blue grama.

In golf, the short grass means the fairway or green, where the ball sits cleanly—contrasted with the rough.
