An at-home putting green is one of the most popular and practical uses for artificial turf. Whether you're seeking family-friendly fun or a space to refine your short game, AGSTURF offers specialized artificial grasses designed to meet the exacting standards of golf enthusiasts. With the right turf, you can create a green that’s both aesthetically pleasing and a challenging test of your skills.
Choose the Right Turf for Your Green
Artificial turf for putting greens isn’t the same as standard lawn grass—it’s engineered for precise performance. Even within golf-specific turf, there are different styles tailored to your play preferences:
- Bent Grass Style: With very short blades, this type of turf provides the smooth, true roll required for putting surfaces. It’s ideal for players of all skill levels.
- Texturized Turf: Versatile and realistic, this type works for casual players or those aiming for a Pro-Am-level experience.
- Slit-Film Style: This turf mimics the closely trimmed grass of professional golf courses, offering tournament-quality conditions for serious golfers.
For added functionality, consider incorporating fringe grass, which has taller, straighter blades. Surrounding your green with fringe turf allows you to practice chipping while giving your setup an authentic golf course look. You can even include a tee box area for full-swing practice.
Infill Options for Enhanced Performance
Infill plays a crucial role in maintaining your turf’s appearance and performance. It helps keep blades upright, ensures resilience, and impacts ball roll and speed. Popular infill options include:
- Sand or Sand Mixtures: Common for putting greens, these materials offer stability and cushioning while minimizing interference with ball roll. Fine-grain sand is especially popular as it allows for smoother play.
- Low-Infill Turf: Designed to reduce the amount of infill required, this option provides smooth ball roll and is also ideal for multipurpose surfaces like bocce or croquet courts.
Custom Design Tailored to Your Game
Artificial grass makes it easy to create a putting green that’s uniquely yours. Without the constraints of natural grass, you can design a green in any shape, with custom terrain features to match your style of play. Add slopes, hills, sand traps, or even a water feature to elevate the challenge. Shade, soggy spots, or maintenance worries? None of these are a problem with synthetic turf.
Best of all, your putting green will boost both the aesthetic appeal and value of your property. It’s a one-time investment that pays off in fun, functionality, and long-term durability.
Why Professional Installation Matters
For the best results, professional installation is essential. Experienced crews ensure the turf is stretched and secured correctly to avoid visible seams, ridges, or divots over time. This is particularly critical for golf greens, where precision is key. Improper installation, such as inadequate stretching of texturized turf, can cause uneven ball rolls in different directions due to expansion or contraction.
At AGSTURF, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality installations that meet your expectations and maximize the lifespan of your investment.
