Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How much maintenance do TourGreens artificial putting green surfaces require?

A. The short answer is that TourGreens artificial grass putting green surfaces require very little maintenance. You need only keep the golf green surface free of debris. You can brush the putting green with a medium grade push broom to reduce speed, or you can roll the putting green with a water-filled sod roller to increase speed and to maintain smoothness.

TourGreens artifical grass Putting Greens vs. Real Grass

Like many avid golfers, you may fantasize about putting all day long, and you may have entertained the idea of having your own personal backyard putting green. For residential golf greens, you can choose one made of natural grass, or you can choose one made with artificial or synthetic grass. TourGreens synthetic putting surfaces very closely simulate the same characteristics of greens on the best golf courses in the world. We are the preferred provider of Tour-quality indoor and outdoor synthetic putting greens and practice areas. Our greens receive shots as well as any real grass golf course green, so you need not worry that an artificial grass putting green won't be like playing on a natural green.

Equally attractive is the comparison of the benefits of artificial grass vs. natural grass. After viewing the chart below, you may think the debate between artificial grass putting greens and real grass putting greens is a no-brainer.

Imagine the personal and practical benefits of having your own backyard putting green without the the hassle of maintaining it. An artificial grass putting green requires no watering, mowing, edging, blowing, weeding, seeding, aerating, fertilizing or hole changing. The best thing about having a putting green made from synthetic grass is that it can be played on year-round. It is not affected by extreme heat or cold, and it will not wear out from daily use.

A putting green by TourGreens looks, feels, hits, receives, and putts just like real grass. Playing on a putting green by TourGreens is so close to the real thing, you might forget that you're actually playing on a synthetic grass surface. That is, until you remember the last time you had to mow it... and that would be... never!

Testimonial

“ I play most of my golf out of East Lake Country Club. The course is always in perfect shape. I wanted a real green at my home to be able to practice without going to the club. I consulted with the Head Greens Superintendent and he stopped me mid-sentence. He said for me to call your company and to trust him, I did not want a real green. I am very pleased to say TourGreens has given me exactly what I was looking for without all the hassle of a real green. I never thought it was possible to duplicate the speed and true roll with a synthetic material. My wife wants you to do the entire yard it looks so good! Thanks for all your hard work. ”
