About Golf Greens
Introduction
Imagine just stepping out the back door of your house to practice you’re putting, chipping, approach shots and bunker shots. This can be achieved by creating an ideal golf green to suit your backyard where you will be able to perfect your golfing skills at your own leisure and in the privacy of your own home. Your golf green can perform, feel and look like natural grass all year round. Benefits of Golf Greens
As mentioned above, there is no better or more convenient way to practice your short game. The time wasted driving to the nearest golf course can be spent practicing in your own golf green at home. It can also serve as a great entertaining space where you can enjoy your golf game with your spouse, kids, neighbors and friends.
Apart from having the chance to practice your short-game, golf greens are practically maintenance free. No need for seeding, mowing, edging, watering, or fertilizing. Instead of having a demanding lawn with uneven texture, dead patches and bugs everywhere you can have a nicely groomed golf green that’s not time consuming, money consuming, nor energy draining. Golf greens are safe for kids and pets with effects of itching or sneezing. Another benefit of adding golf green to your backyard is that it adds value to your home. The flawless green color can embellish any landscape of any size not matter what the soil or weather conditions are.
Building a Golf Green
Whether you want an indoor or outdoor golf green, you can get the most realistic golf surface available that has been custom designed and installed to look like real grass despite where you live or what the climate is like. Bear in mind, golf greens are suitable for residential backyards as well as commercial properties. Choose a company with reputable design skills and installation expertise. Your terrain does not have to be flat or straight; slopes and contours should not be a problem. Undulations and slopes can be designed and incorporated into the landscape to challenge golfers. As for the time span, it usually takes an experienced professional to build a golf green around a week to 10 days depending on the amount of site preparation and clean-up required. Golf greens have a long durability of around 12 to 15 years.
All golf green systems should perform equivalent to golf course standards with the same ball bounce and uniform roll due to the unique combination of sand and grass-like fibers.
To give a rough estimate of the costs of building a golf green, it can vary anywhere from $5,000 to $30,000. You will definitely be getting your moneys worth for years to come.
