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

If you are pondering installing an indoor putting surface in your residence or business, here are answers to some of the most frequent questions we get.

 

WHY SPEND MONEY ON AN INDOOR PUTTING GREEN?

Indoor putting greens and training mats are ideal solutions for any Huntsville golfer trying to practice anytime, anytime. With indoor greens, you can spend lots of time refining your putting accuracy to trim your handicap.

 

WHERE CAN I INSTALL AN INDOOR GREEN?

We’re often asked this very question. With a practice mat or indoor putting green, you can have it in your residence, workplace, or basement — the choices are ample! The first thing you need to figure out 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 artificial grass is fixed to the floor to last for many years. You can also integrate fringe grass and chipping areas to make a wonderful indoor golfing experience if space permits.

On the other hand, a practice mat or putting kit is a fragment of green that can be packed away and taken on the go. It can essentially be rolled out on any floor everywhere and simply packs up.

 

WHAT INFLUENCES THE INDOOR PUTTING GREEN PRICE?

Haven’t we all had sticker shock that makes us ask the question, “why is this so expensive?!” We prefer to stay ahead of that query and be clear about what it takes when manufacturing our indoor putting greens. Here’s a breakdown for you.

Base Materials & Site Preparation

Even though the base materials and site prep will be minimal for an indoor putting green in comparison with what is required for outdoors, nevertheless there must be a structurally sound base. If the green will be installed over concrete, the cups may need to be drilled or bored out.

Size, Design, & Features

One of the biggest elements determining an indoor putting green cost is the size, design, and additional features. Elements like customized shapes and multi-cup features will be the most crucial role in how much your own turf will cost.

Number of Cuts

The number of cuts your green will need, will be dependent on where you are planning to install the turf. If there are obstacles that cannot be moved (such as support beams or walls), you might require more cuts than a standard square. Grass could also be cut into shapes for a out of the ordinary view.

Installation Costs

Artificial golf greens need a higher level of skill for design and installation. Given our start in the golf industry in 1996, Southwest Greens has truly perfected the art of golf construction. It brings us a lot of pride in crafting attractive grass, whatever the size.

 

HOW MUCH DOES AN INDOOR PUTTING GREEN COST?

If you need an artificial green that is a permanent part of your house, the installation will be greater than a practice mat or putting kit. Indoor putting green installation expenses will be a bigger investment but quite worth it in the long run. Our golf green prices hover from $20 to $25 per square foot, but asking for an estimate is the easiest way to find just how much your individual project will cost.
