Why are Outdoor Putting Greens Becoming So Popular?

Before artificial turf, maintaining a putting green surface would be like creating a masterpiece. The amount of time and equipment required for a good putt was not a financially viable option for most homeowners. Golf courses and luxury residences were the only places that could afford the upkeep of putting greens. Today, with almost zero maintenance, putting greens flourish in neighborhood backyards.

Are Putting Greens Customizable?

Every single putting green we install is different. We work with you to install the putting green of your dreams that you’ll be excited to play on for years to come. You can customize the material, shape, stimp ball speed, and fill of the field. We can even add undulations, beautiful ponds, and bunkers. Just imagine it and show us the direction. We will put all options in front of you to meet your desires and budget.

What is the Best Putting Green Turf?

Most golfers prefer a slit-film style. This has shorter trimmed blades that give the effect of a freshly mowed lawn.

There is no straight answer for this one. For putting greens we offer a variety of different kinds of grass. For simplicity, we stick to one option of poly material for the most natural-looking putting green, dense nylon putting green for the best customization, and plush nylon for multi-purpose use. We are constantly searching for new materials and technologies to offer you the most advanced products. You can find more answers in our putting green FAQ section.

Do Artificial Putting Greens Offer the Same Play Experience As Natural Putting Greens?

In short, yes. Synthetic golf greens simulate the look, feel, and performance of natural green. Practicing on synthetic turf offers a fun and easy way to improve your game. You can customize your putting green by selecting materials, pads, and infills to build your perfect space.

Is My Yard Big Enough For A Putting Green?

Absolutely! Because they are so customizable, we can make an entertaining area with just one or 2 holes. In fact, the average putting green surface is only about 300 sq. ft. Those who desire a more challenging game can purchase sets of obstacles on Amazon. We can also adjust the level of difficulty with undulations and hardscape. Or, you can even play golf-like bowling by scoring targets from a single spot. Imagination has no limit!

What Kind of Maintenance Do Putting Greens Require?

Artificial putting green material makes it so much easier to keep your area clean. Your surface will still need a little bit of maintenance, but you'll be able to blow the leaves away and brush off any dirt with ease. Depending on how often you use this space for recreation purposes, our specialists can arrange a brushing service in order to make sure all edges are upright and looking their best! 

When you are concerned about maintenance, we highly recommend choosing more durable commercial-grade materials. Most commercial-grade materials feel a bit harder, but they are easier to maintain. 

How Do You Speed Up an Artificial Putting Green?

There are a few ways to improve the speed of the ball on your putting green:

•  We make sure the infill is evenly spread out using enough to keep it standing on its own, but not too much that will cause excess wear or impact absorption. 
  
  
• Brush off dirt regularly with a soft brush so there isn't a distinctive grain pattern from lack of brushing and make sure the fibers stand upright without being weighted down by excessive amounts of infill material 

What are the Top Five Things to Consider When Selecting an Artificial Turf Putting Green?

When selecting an artificial turf putting green, there are five key factors to consider:

1. Size: Determine the area you want to allocate for your putting green. The size of the green will influence the overall cost, as both the size and the type of turf used will impact the budget.

2. Layout: Carefully consider the layout of your putting green. It's not just about where the cups will be placed; there are other elements to consider. Once you have determined the square footage of the putting green, decide how much space will be dedicated to putting versus fringe areas.

3. Usage: Think about how you will use your new artificial turf putting green. Is it primarily for hosting chipping competitions with friends or for family fun? Take into account the number of pets you have and the amount of foot traffic the green will receive. This will help determine the durability and maintenance requirements of the turf.

4. Maintenance: Understand the level of maintenance that will be required for your artificial turf putting green. Most outdoor putting greens are exposed to the elements year-round, so consider if you are willing to put in the effort to keep it well-maintained. This may include brushing or blowing off debris, occasional cleaning, and keeping an eye on the condition of the turf.

5. Care Tips: Regardless of the type of artificial turf, there are general care tips to follow that will help prolong its lifespan. Whether you are installing a putting green, pet turf, or landscaping, take steps such as regular cleaning, proper drainage, and avoiding sharp objects or heavy furniture on the turf to ensure its longevity.

By considering these five factors - size, layout, usage, maintenance, and care tips - you can make an informed decision when selecting an artificial turf putting green that will best meet your needs and enhance your backyard.
