Perfect your short game at any given moment with indoor putting greens.

In case you're pondering adding an indoor putting surface in your residence or workplace, here are answers to several most frequently asked questions we get.

 

WHY INSTALL AN INDOOR PUTTING GREEN?

Indoor putting greens and training mats are the perfect tools for Charlotte golfers wanting to keep practicing, anytime. Using indoor greens, you can easily spend plenty of time refining your putting accuracy to trim your handicap.

 

WHERE CAN I INSTALL AN INDOOR GREEN?

We regularly get asked this question. With a practice mat or indoor putting green, you can install it in your house, office, or cellar — the choices are plentiful! The first thing you want to figure out is whether this will be a permanently installed piece or if you desire something you can have on the go.

 

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

An indoor putting green is installed directly over the subbase. The artificial turf is fixed to the floor to last for many years. You can also incorporate border grass and chipping areas to make a fabulous indoor golfing experience if room permits.

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

 

WHAT AFFECTS THE INDOOR PUTTING GREEN PRICE?

Haven’t we all seen a price tag that makes us ask the question, “why is the price so high?!” We choose to stay ahead of that question and be clear regarding what it takes when manufacturing our indoor putting greens. Here is a breakdown for you.

Base Materials & Site Prep

Although the base materials and site preparation will be lowest for an indoor putting green compared to what is required for outdoors, there still must be a structurally sound base. If the turf will lay over concrete, the cups may need to be bored or drilled out.

Design, Features, and Size

One of the biggest factors that goes into an indoor putting green price is the size, design, and special features. Features like customized shapes and multi-cup features will be the most significant contributor in how much your specific turf will cost.

Number of Cuts

The number of cuts your green will need, will be dependent on where you are planning to place the turf. If there are obstacles that can’t be moved (such as support beams or walls), you might have to have more cuts than a regular square. Turf could also be cut into curves for a extraordinary appearance.

Installation Costs

Artificial golf greens need an expert level of skill for design and installation. Considering our start in the golf industry in 1996, Southwest Greens has truly perfected the art of golf construction. We have pride in creating beautiful turf, regardless of the size.

 

HOW MUCH DOES AN INDOOR PUTTING GREEN COST?

If you need an artificial green that is a permanent part of your space, the installation will be more involved than a practice mat or putting kit. Indoor putting green installation costs will be a more expensive investment but definitely worth it in the long haul. Our golf green costs range from $20 to $25 per sq-ft, but requesting an estimate is the best way to find just how much your specific project would cost.
