Backyard Putting Greens

Why Install a Backyard Putting Green

A backyard putting green is more than just a golf practice area. It's an investment in your game, your property, and your lifestyle. Here's what makes it worthwhile:

• •Practice Anytime: No driving to the course or waiting for tee times. Work on your putting whenever you have a few minutes.
• •Improve Your Game: Consistent practice on a quality surface translates to lower scores on the course.
• •Entertainment Value: Great for parties, family gatherings, and friendly competitions with neighbors.
• •Increases Home Value: A well-designed putting green is a premium feature that appeals to buyers and adds curb appeal.
• •Low Maintenance: No mowing, watering, or treating for weeds. Just occasional brushing to keep the surface rolling true.

Custom Design Options

Every backyard putting green we install is custom designed for your space and preferences. We work with you to create a layout that fits your yard, matches your skill level, and includes the features you want. Want challenging breaks and slopes? We can build that. Prefer a simple, flat practice area? We can do that too.

Popular Features

Most putting greens include multiple holes with different difficulty levels, ranging from easy straight putts to challenging uphill breaks. We can add fringe areas with different turf heights for chipping practice. Bunkers and sand traps create realistic course conditions. Custom shapes and contours make each green unique to your property.

Many homeowners combine their putting green with residential artificial grass for a complete low-maintenance yard, or integrate it with paver pathways for a stunning landscaped look. We handle all aspects of design, grading, and installation to ensure your green putts like a real course.

Installation Process

Installing a putting green requires precision and expertise. We start with careful site preparation, ensuring proper drainage and a perfectly smooth base. The contours and breaks are sculpted into the base layer, creating the green's character. We then install professional-grade putting turf with the right speed and roll characteristics.

The quality of materials matters significantly. We use putting turf designed specifically for golf, not standard artificial grass. The fibers are shorter, denser, and engineered to replicate the roll and feel of bent grass greens. Cup locations are installed flush with the surface, and we can include regulation flags if you prefer.

Installation typically takes three to five days depending on size and complexity. We handle everything from excavation to final grading. Before we leave, we'll help you understand how to maintain your green and get the most out of your practice sessions. Most putting greens last 15-20 years with minimal upkeep.
