Rooftop and Terrace Putting Greens: What to Know Before You Build

By Backyard Golf Team

Rooftops and terraces make great golf spaces. Here are the key things to plan for before you build.

A rooftop or terrace green is one of the most satisfying ways to bring golf home. A few practical points make the difference between a good result and a great one.

Check the structure

Always confirm that your terrace or roof can take the extra load, and check any building rules. A structural professional can advise.

Plan for drainage

Water needs somewhere to go. A good base and drainage design keep the surface dry and playable after rain.

Think about wind and safety

Open spaces can be breezy. Consider edge protection, netting or planting so balls stay where they should.

Use a custom-fit design

Rooftops are rarely a perfect rectangle. We design the layout around your exact space, from tight corners to curved edges.

Plan the access

Think about how materials will reach the space. Our team plans the delivery and installation so it runs smoothly and quickly.
