It's a VERY sad refelection on the USA schools that not one of JAA approved ones will allow (or train) their pilots to land on grass.
IIRC correctly, they do not refer to them as grass runways, which always amused me when asked to sign a declaration that I would not operate the aircraft on 'sod' runways.
I once did try to explain that not all runways that were sods to land on were constructed from grass, but the joke got lost in the translation
