Maintaining a natural grass putting green is costly, with daily maintenance needed to maintain its pristine condition. Enjoying a professional-quality putting green is more accessible than ever with synthetic turf installation. Choosing an artificial turf putting green gives you the quality without the cost. 

Choosing the correct synthetic turf installers for your backyard putting course is essential. Not all materials are up to the standards you’d want, and sub-par turf will cost you more in the long run due to frequent maintenance.

The key to enjoying a smooth, reliable game every time is choosing the right artificial grass installers for the job. There are several factors to keep in mind – read on for everything you need to know about artificial putting green installation!

Benefits of Synthetic Turf for Putting Greens

The difference may not be evident at first; synthetic turf and natural grass both look picturesque when appropriately installed, but a putting green emphasizes the particular benefits of artificial turf.

Synthetic turf products require minimal maintenance to sustain a smooth and lush surface. Natural grass requires hours of labor and costly equipment such as pesticides, fertilizers and mower fuel. Even passionate golfers don’t have that kind of time!

Artificial grass saves you money over time, paying for itself across a 15 to 20-year lifespan during which it looks bright and freshly grown. Synthetic turf installation also improves water conservation, helping you do your part while improving your putt.

If that wasn’t convincing enough, artificial turf putting greens elevate the overall value of your property. If and when you sell, you’ll be happy you chose synthetic grass.

Traditional Grass vs. Artificial Grass Putting Greens

Putting greens requires particular artificial turf to ensure maximum quality and reliability of gameplay. Traditional landscape turf, pet turf and even sports turf don’t have the construction needed to support your gameplay.

Technological advancements have allowed synthetic grass manufacturers to craft specialized turf to mimic a natural putting green. These activity-specific turf products better meet the needs of PGA Pro and casual golfers.

Artificial putting greens feature trimmed blades to mimic the close-cropped mowing of natural grass putting courses. It includes fringe grass, too, which allows for chipping practice.

Advanced additions include:

• Tiers and contours
• Speed and break design
• Sand traps
• Multiple holes
• Aluminum cups
• And more!

Artificial grass installation allows for complete customization of your backyard putting green to suit your skill level and interests.

Artificial Turf Materials

Synthetic grass is designed to meet the needs of your landscape and gameplay. Synthetic putting greens are manufactured from polypropylene, polyethylene and nylon. Artificial Turf by FENIX prioritizes lightweight and durable nylon with our Nylon Putt 2-Tone turf.

Nylon has a long-lasting “blade memory,” meaning it retains its shape once installed for a reliable roll every time. It is manufactured for increased durability with UV fade, heat and frost resistance.

Drainage systems prevent water and mud puddles in your backyard putting green. This feature ensures a consistently clean surface and prevents early deterioration. Durability is paramount for artificial putting greens that sit outdoors and endure frequent foot traffic.

Artificial Turf by Fenix prioritizes the highest-quality synthetic turf for putting green installations, ensuring professional-quality gameplay for years. 

How Artificial Grass Effects the Roll of Your Golf Ball

The roll of your golf ball is dictated by the firmness of synthetic grass blades and the amount of turf infill used. Sand-filled nylon putting greens can be easily adjusted to alter the speed of your ball. Simply change the amount of infill on the grass’s surface.

Rolling the turf products before installation keeps the turf blades compact, ensuring a stiff surface and a smooth roll. Reducing infill will cause blades to stick out more, increasing friction and slowing the ball. Adding infill has the opposite effect.

The type of infill you use can have an effect as well. San absorbs the energy from a golf ball, stopping it. Silica creates a more compact surface, speeding up your roll.

These micro-adjustments can alter the roll of your ball to match your playing style, skill set or level of challenge. Artificial Turf by Fenix guarantees quality putting green installation with high-quality turf products and infill adjustments.
