If you’re wanting to build an entire indoor golf facility in Charlotte or you are just wanting to add a small putting area in your cellar for practice, artificial grass is what you are looking for. Continue reading to know more regarding artificial grass for indoor golf.
WHY SYNTHETIC GRASS FOR INDOORS?
An indoor golf green won’t just beautify the appearance of your area, it will also let you practice your golf game in any season or weather. Synthetic turf is a great solution for golf simulators, short game putting spaces, and a whole lot more. Synthetic turf for indoor golf is:
- Simple to maintain
- Economical
- Very customizable
- An increase to property value
HOW ACCURATE IS INDOOR GOLF?
This will largely vary based on the quality of the grass used for your indoor golf area. Cheaper products will cause the ball to roll strangely, and unlevel surfaces will make putting difficult. Bunker sections must be designed with careful consideration for indoor uses. You can learn more details on our indoor putting greens here.
On the flip side of indoor golf (simulators), you can trust golf simulators to be very accurate. Many have a distance accuracy of approximately 95% or better. Some golf simulators will allow you to play with a real ball, on the other hand, lower-cost simulators will need a proprietary practice ball. This practice ball will not have similar results as an actual ball and golf hitting mat outdoors, so remember that.
IS ARTIFICIAL TURF COSTLY TO INSTALL?
It’s tough to determine precisely how much an indoor golf surface will cost to install, but you can typically plan on spending between $15 and $30+ per ft2 of turf installed. Some aspects which affect the price are:
- Base materials
- Dimensions
- Design
- Site access/prep
- Golf features

CAN SHORT GAME OR PUTTING COURSES BE INDOORS?
Yes! The major constraint is the size of the space you want to install your short game or putting course indoors. With these, you will not have to be troubled by balls shooting into the ceiling because there will simply be soft strokes on the ball for short game improvement. Golf entertainment is turning into a large market, so if you own the indoor area to offer putting courses, it can be extremely useful to your property.
WHAT DOES INDOOR GRASS INSTALLATION INVOLVE?
Indoor artificial turf installation can be fairly simple due to the fact that there is no need for excavating or leveling the earth first. A normal indoor golf grass installation will need the following steps:
- The surface cleaned, and free of debris, and any cracks filled in and sealed
- Installation of materials utilized to produce varied surfaces like bunkers
- Lay and fasten a shock pad to create a soft and safe surface
- Place artificial turf and secure edges

It shows a 5,000 ft2 putting area, two TrackMan swing analytic systems, and four hitting bays outside.
