Whether you are going to create a complete indoor golf facility in Pittsburgh or you are only going to install a personal putting area in your cellar to practice, artificial turf is what you need. Read on to find out more about synthetic turf for indoor golf.
WHY SYNTHETIC GRASS FOR INDOORS?
An indoor golf green will not simply change the look and feel of your room, but will also let you work on your golf game in any climate. Synthetic turf is a perfect solution for golf simulator areas, short game putting areas, and so much more. Artificial grass for indoor golf is:
- Effortless to maintain
- Economical
- Highly customizable
- An increase to property value
HOW ACCURATE IS INDOOR GOLF?
This will largely vary based on the quality of the turf employed for your indoor golf area. Lower quality materials will cause the ball to roll strangely, and uneven surfaces will make putting difficult. Bunker sections must be designed with careful consideration for indoor applications. You can learn more information on our indoor putting greens here.
On the flip side of indoor golf (simulators), you can expect golf simulators to be pretty precise. The majority feature a distance accuracy of around 95% or higher. A handful of golf simulators will allow you to use an actual ball, while inexpensive simulators will require a specific practice ball. This practice ball does not have the same outcomes as an actual ball and golf hitting mat outdoors, so remember that.
IS ARTIFICIAL TURF PRICEY TO INSTALL?
It’s difficult to determine precisely how much an indoor golf surface will cost to install, but you can typically plan to spend between $15 and $30+ per square foot of grass installed. Some aspects which affect the price are:
- Base materials
- Dimensions
- Design
- Site access/prep
- Golf features

CAN SHORT GAME OR PUTTING COURSES BE INDOORS?
Yes! The primary constraint is the size of the space you want to install a short game or putting course indoors. With these, you won’t have to worry about balls shooting into the ceiling because there will just be soft strokes on the ball for short game improvement. Golf entertainment is becoming a huge market, so if you own the indoor area to provide putting courses, it can be extremely helpful to your property.
WHAT DOES INDOOR TURF INSTALLATION INVOLVE?
Indoor synthetic turf installation can be pretty easy since there’s no reason for digging or leveling the earth first. A normal indoor golf grass installation will need the following steps:
- The surface cleaned, and any debris removed, and any cracks filled in and sealed
- Installation of materials utilized to create uneven surfaces such as bunkers
- Lay and secure a shock pad to make a soft and safe surface
- Lay the synthetic grass and secure edges

It shows a 5,000 square foot putting area, two TrackMan swing analytic systems, and four outdoor hitting bays.
