Practice your short game any time using indoor putting greens.

Suppose you are thinking about adding an indoor putting surface to your residence or office, here are answers to few of the most frequently asked questions we receive.

 

WHY SPEND MONEY ON AN INDOOR PUTTING GREEN?

Indoor putting greens and practice mats are ideal ways for any Pittsburgh golfer looking to practice anytime, any weather, anytime. Using indoor greens, you can spend plenty of time fine-tuning your putting accuracy to cut your handicap.

 

WHERE CAN I INSTALL AN INDOOR GREEN?

We are often asked this very question. With a practice mat or indoor putting green, you can install it in your residence, workplace, or basement — the choices are plentiful! The initial thing you want to determine is whether this will be a forever fixed piece or if you desire something you can carry on the go.

 

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

An indoor putting green is installed straight over the subbase. The synthetic grass is installed to the floor to endure for many years. You can even incorporate fringe grass and chipping areas to create a wonderful indoor golfing experience if room allows.

In the meantime, a practice mat or putting kit is a piece of grass that can be rolled up and carried on the go. It can essentially be rolled out on any surface wherever you want and easily packs up.

 

WHAT IMPACTS THE INDOOR PUTTING GREEN COST?

Haven’t we all had sticker shock that forces ask the question, “why is this so expensive?!” We prefer to stay ahead of that query and be clear regarding what it takes when making our indoor putting greens. Here is an analysis for you.

Base Materials & Site Preparation

Although the base materials and site prep will be negligible for an indoor putting green in comparison with what is required for outdoors, there still must be a structurally sound base. If the grass will lay over concrete, the cups might need to be drilled or bored out.

Features, Size, and Design

One of the biggest elements that goes into an indoor putting green cost is the size, design, and special features. Elements like customized shapes and multi-cup features will play the most crucial contributor in how much your particular turf will cost.

Number of Cuts

The number of cuts your green has to have, will vary based on where you are going to put the grass. If there are in the way that cannot be moved (like support beams or walls), you may need more cuts than a conventional square. Grass could also be cut into shapes for a extraordinary view.

Installation Costs

Synthetic golf greens require a high level of skill for design and installation. Since our introduction in the golf industry in 1996, Southwest Greens has genuinely perfected the art of golf construction. We have great pride in designing attractive grass, regardless of the size.

 

HOW MUCH DOES AN INDOOR PUTTING GREEN COST?

If you want a synthetic green that’s a fixed part of your space, the installation will be more involved than a practice mat or putting kit. Indoor putting green installation pricing will be a bigger investment but quite worth it in the long term. Our golf green prices average from $20 to $25 per ft2, but getting an estimate is the easiest way to learn just how much your specific project would be.
