How to Choose the Right Turf for Your Putting Green
The turf you choose decides how your green rolls, feels and lasts. Here is what to look for before you commit.
Not all synthetic grass is made for putting. Turf designed for lawns or play areas can look great but roll unevenly. A putting green needs a surface engineered for ball speed, consistency and feel.
Start with putting-specific turf
Look for a short, dense pile built for true roll. Our Putting Green Pro, at 16 mm, is designed to capture the feel of a professional golf course.
Check the fibers and density
Tightly packed, high-quality fibers give a consistent roll and a natural texture underfoot, and they resist flattening with use.
Make sure it is built for your climate
Ask how the turf handles strong sun, heat, humidity and sand. UV-stable fibers and good drainage keep the color and speed steady all year.
Don't forget the base
A perfectly level, well-built base matters as much as the turf. Each layer, from base to infill to turf, needs to be engineered together for realistic bounce and natural speed.
Ask about safety, sustainability and warranty
Choose turf made from recyclable, non-toxic fibers, and check the warranty. Every Backyard Golf installation includes a 10-year warranty covering quality, durability and color retention.
