Practice your short game any time using indoor putting greens.

Suppose you are pondering installing an indoor putting surface to your home or business, here are answers to few of the most FAQs we get.

 

WHY INSTALL AN INDOOR PUTTING GREEN?

Indoor putting greens and practice mats are great tools for San Francisco golfers looking to practice, any weather, anytime. With indoor greens, you can effortlessly spend lots of time fine-tuning your putting accuracy to cut your handicap.

 

WHERE CAN I INSTALL AN INDOOR GREEN?

We’re frequently asked this exact question. With a practice mat or indoor putting green, you can have it in your home, office, or cellar — the choices are abundant! The initial thing you want to determine is whether this will be a permanently fixed piece or if you desire something you can have on the go.

 

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN INDOOR GREEN AND A PUTTING KIT?

An indoor putting green is installed immediately over the subbase. The synthetic turf is fixed to the floor to last for years to come. You can also incorporate fringe grass and chipping areas to have a fabulous indoor golfing experience if room permits.

In the meantime, a practice mat or putting kit is a portion of green that can be wrapped up and carried on the go. It can essentially be rolled out on any floor wherever you want and effortlessly packs up.

 

WHAT INFLUENCES THE INDOOR PUTTING GREEN PRICE?

Haven’t we all had sticker shock that makes us ask the question, “why is the price so high?!” We prefer to stay ahead of that question and be clear about what it takes when making our indoor putting greens. Here is a breakdown for you.

Base Materials & Site Prep

Although the base materials and site prep will be minimal for an indoor putting green versus what is required for outdoors, there must be a structurally sound foundation. If the turf will go over concrete, the cups may be required to be bored or drilled out.

Design, Features, and Size

One of the greatest components influencing an indoor putting green price is the size, design, and special features. Elements like custom shapes and multi-cup features will be the most significant factor in how much your particular green will cost.

Number of Cuts

The number of cuts your turf will require, will be dependent on where you are going to put the turf. If there are barriers that cannot be moved (such as support beams or walls), you might need more cuts than a conventional square. Turf can also be cut into curves for a extraordinary appearance.

Installation Costs

Synthetic golf greens call for a higher level of mastery for design and installation. Given our initial beginning in the golf industry in 1996, Southwest Greens has genuinely perfected the art of golf construction. We take pride in designing beautiful turf, no matter the size.

 

HOW MUCH DOES AN INDOOR PUTTING GREEN COST?

If you want an artificial green that is a fixed part of your space, the installation will be more intensive than a practice mat or putting kit. Indoor putting green installation costs will be a larger investment but well worth it in the long term. Our putting green prices hover from $20 to $25 per ft2, but getting an estimate is the best way to discover just how much your individual project would be.
