WHY SYNTHETIC GRASS FOR INDOORS?

- Simple to maintain
- Cost-effective
- Extremely customizable
- Good for property value
HOW ACCURATE IS INDOOR GOLF?
This will greatly vary based on the quality of the grass employed for your indoor putting area. Lower quality materials will cause the ball to roll strangely, and uneven surfaces will make putting difficult. Bunker areas must to be designed with careful consideration for indoor uses. You can learn more details on our indoor putting greens here.
On the other side of indoor golf (simulators), you can expect golf simulators to be very accurate. The majority have a distance accuracy of nearly 95% or better. A handful of golf simulators will allow you to hit an actual ball, on the other hand, inexpensive simulators will require a special practice ball. This practice ball will not have the same outcomes as an actual ball and golf hitting mat outside, so remember that.
IS SYNTHETIC GRASS PRICEY TO INSTALL?
It is hard to quote precisely how much an indoor golf area will cost to install, but you can generally plan to spend in the neighborhood of $15 and $30+ per ft2 of grass installed. The aspects that affect the price are:
- Base materials
- Dimensions
- Design
- Site access/prep

CAN SHORT GAME OR PUTTING COURSES BE INDOORS?
Definitely! The biggest limitation are the dimensions of the area you want to install your short game or putting course indoors. With these, you don’t have to be troubled by balls sailing into the ceiling due to the fact that there will simply be soft touches on the ball for short game improvement. Golf entertainment is turning into a huge market, so if you own the indoor space to offer putting courses, it can be highly useful to your property.
WHAT DOES INDOOR GRASS INSTALLATION INVOLVE?
Indoor synthetic turf installation can be quite easy since there’s no need for excavating or leveling the ground first. A typical indoor golf turf installation will need the following steps:
- The floor cleaned, and free of debris, and any cracks filled up and sealed
- Installation of materials utilized to create varied surfaces like sand traps
- Lay and fasten a shock pad to create a soft and safe surface
- Lay the synthetic turf and secure edges
