What types of grass is the most widely used in the UK?

From watching Ground Force here in the states, it appears to be a short
fine bladed variety. Similiar to a bent grass fairway golf course here.

I have also heard that the UK does not have a climate similar to any
region in the states. Would this be true? If not how would you
describe it?
