Perfect your short game any day now using indoor putting greens.

Suppose you are pondering adding an indoor putting surface to your residence or business, here are answers to some of the most frequent questions we receive.

 

WHY INSTALL AN INDOOR PUTTING GREEN?

Indoor putting greens and training mats are ideal ways for Vancouver golfers trying to keep practicing, any weather, anytime. Through indoor greens, you can spend plenty of time fine-tuning your putting precision 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 put it in your home, workplace, or cellar — the options are many! The first thing you need to determine is whether this will be a always installed piece or if you desire something you can take on the go.

 

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

An indoor putting green is affixed straight over the subbase. The synthetic turf is added to the floor to endure for many years. You can also integrate border grass and chipping areas to make a fantastic indoor golfing experience if room permits.

In the meantime, a practice mat or putting kit is a fragment of grass that can be packed away and carried on the go. It can essentially be rolled out on any surface everywhere and easily packs up.

 

WHAT AFFECTS THE INDOOR PUTTING GREEN COST?

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

Base Materials & Site Prep

Although the base materials and site preparation will be minimal for an indoor putting green compared to what is required for outdoors, there still has to be a structurally sound base. If the grass will be installed over concrete, the cups might need to be bored or drilled out.

Design, Features, and Size

One of the biggest components that goes into an indoor putting green cost is the size, design, and unique features. Elements like customized shapes and multi-cup characteristics will play the most important factor in how much your particular green will cost.

Number of Cuts

The number of cuts your green has to have, will depend on where you are going to install the turf. If there are in the way that cannot be moved (like support beams or walls), you might need more cuts than a standard square. Turf could also be cut into curves for a out of the ordinary appearance.

Installation Costs

Synthetic golf greens need a higher level of skill for installation and design. Considering our initial beginning in the golf industry in 1996, Southwest Greens has genuinely perfected the art of golf construction. We have a lot of pride in crafting gorgeous turf, whatever the size.

 

HOW MUCH DOES AN INDOOR PUTTING GREEN COST?

If you want a synthetic green that is a permanent part of your house, the installation will be more intensive than a practice mat or putting kit. Indoor putting green installation expenses will be a more expensive investment but quite worth it in the long term. Our putting green prices hover from $20 to $25 per square foot, but getting a quote is the best way to learn just how much your particular project will be.
