Backyard Putting Greens

Why Elizabeth Golfers Want Backyard Greens

You love golf, but getting to the course or practice facility takes time you don't always have. What if you could step into your backyard and practice putting whenever you want? That's exactly what a custom putting green gives you. No driving, no waiting for tee times, no range fees. Just you, your putter, and quality practice time.

Backyard putting greens have become popular throughout Elizabeth and Union County because they add value to your home while improving your golf game. Whether you're a serious golfer working on your short game or a casual player who enjoys the game, having your own green means more practice and more fun. Plus, it's a conversation piece that makes your backyard the place everyone wants to hang out.

Designing Your Perfect Practice Green

Every putting green we build is custom designed for your space and skill level. We work with you to create a layout that fits your yard and challenges your abilities. Here's what we can include in your design:

• Multiple hole locations. We typically install 3 to 6 cups so you can change the layout and practice different distances and breaks.
• Natural contours and breaks. Flat greens get boring fast. We add subtle slopes and undulations that simulate real course conditions.
• Fringe areas. Add a collar of slightly longer turf around your green for chipping practice and a more authentic look.
• Custom shapes and sizes. From small 200 square foot practice areas to elaborate 1,000 square foot greens with multiple tiers, we build what fits your space.
• Lighting options. Want to practice after work? We can add landscape lighting so you can putt in the evening.

What Makes a Great Putting Surface

Not all synthetic putting surfaces are equal. The cheap stuff you see online doesn't roll true and won't hold up more than a couple seasons. We use professional-grade putting green turf that's designed to match real bentgrass greens. The ball rolls smooth and consistent at speeds you can adjust from 8 to 12 on the stimpmeter.

Installation matters as much as materials. We build a perfectly level and compacted base using laser grading equipment. Then we add drainage so rain never puddles on your green. The turf is stretched tight and seamed invisibly. When we're done, you have a practice surface that performs like a country club green and lasts for 15 to 20 years with minimal maintenance.

Combining Greens with Other Turf Features

Many Elizabeth homeowners combine putting greens with other artificial grass features. You might want artificial turf throughout your backyard with an integrated putting area. Or maybe you'd like a separate green surrounded by natural landscaping. We've also built combinations with pet-friendly turf for dogs to play while you practice. The possibilities are endless, and we'll help you design a layout that makes sense for your property. Ready to improve your short game and add something unique to your home?
