"Pensacola Bahiagrass is grown and planted on more acres than any of the other varieties of Bahia. It has been established on several million acres of roads, lawns, pasture, forage and conservation lands in the southern states of the USA since its discovery in 1935 by Ed Finlayson of the Escambia County Extension Service."

It is an excellent low-maintenance lawn here. Essentially a mow and grow. Not as pretty as Zoysia, Centipede, St Augustine , or even Bermuda. It is a coarse grass and will wear out mower blades fast, but it will keep on plugging in driest season without irrigation, It will also do well in acid soils. Also a good pasture grass, although other cultivars are better for this purpose. The key is low maintenance. All You have to do is mow it, although it appreciates an application of weed-and-feed when weeds become a problem. It does head up quite fast, so you do have to keep mowing.
