Perfect your short game any time through indoor putting greens.

If you are pondering adding an indoor putting surface in your home or workplace, here are answers to several most FAQs we receive.

 

WHY SPEND MONEY ON AN INDOOR PUTTING GREEN?

Indoor putting greens and training mats are ideal ways for Detroit and all of Michigan golfers trying to keep practicing, rain or shine, day or night. Using indoor greens, you can spend plenty of time perfecting your putting precision to trim your handicap.

 

WHERE CAN I INSTALL AN INDOOR GREEN?

We frequently get asked this question. With a practice mat or indoor putting green, you can put it in your home, office, or basement — the options are plentiful! The initial thing you need to figure out is whether this will be a permanently fixed piece or if you need something you can take on the go.

 

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN INDOOR GREEN AND A PUTTING KIT?

An indoor putting green is installed immediately over the subbase. The synthetic turf is fixed to the floor to endure for many years. You can also incorporate fringe grass and chipping surfaces to create a fabulous indoor golfing experience if space allows.

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

 

WHAT AFFECTS THE INDOOR PUTTING GREEN PRICE?

Haven’t we all been surprised by a price that prompts us to ask the question, “why does it cost so much?!” We choose to stay forward of that query and be transparent regarding what goes into manufacturing our indoor putting greens. Here’s a cost overview for you.

Base Materials & Site Prep

Even though the base materials and site preparation will be minimal for an indoor putting green versus what you need for outdoors, there still needs to be a structurally sound foundation. If the green will be installed over concrete, the cups may need to be bored or drilled out.

Design, Features, and Size

One of the biggest elements that goes into an indoor putting green cost is the size, design, and unique features. Features like customized shapes and multi-cup characteristics will be the most significant factor in how much your own grass will cost.

Number of Cuts

The number of cuts your green will need, will depend on where you are planning to place the grass. If there are in the way that can’t be moved (like support beams or walls), you might need more cuts than a conventional square. Grass could also be cut into shapes for a one of a kind view.

Installation Costs

Synthetic golf greens call for an expert level of skill for design and installation. Since our initial beginning in the golf industry in 1996, Southwest Greens has sincerely perfected the art of golf construction. It brings us a lot of pride in designing beautiful turf, no matter the size.

 

HOW MUCH DOES AN INDOOR PUTTING GREEN COST?

If you need a synthetic green that’s a fixed part of your house, the installation will be greater than a practice mat or putting kit. Indoor putting green installation pricing will be a bigger investment but quite worth it in the long haul. Our putting green prices range from $20 to $25 per square foot, but asking for a quote is the easiest way to discover just how much your particular project would cost.
