Why choose
artificial golf putting green for backyard?
The most genuine complaints from homeowners on Reddit, GolfWRX, and DIY Golf Forum ：
Nearly all DIY natural greens are abandoned because of the insane maintenance.
You won’t get anything close without a greenskeeper mower.
$20,000+ to build, and 7+ hours a week to maintain? No thanks.
Drainage, leveling, rolling… it’s a whole job.

True, Professional Speed
Many homeowners install an artificial putting green hoping to match the feel of a professional golf club. Premium putting green turf delivers exactly that — Stimp Speed 9–12, stable ball roll, and zero grain direction issues.
A More Realistic Putting Experience
Maintaining a natural green is practically a full-time job — expensive equipment, daily mowing, watering, fertilizing, and constant upkeep.
A professional artificial turf golf putting green requires no watering, no mowing, no fertilizing, and no daily maintenance throughout the year.
Even with only 200–500 sqft of space, homeowners can easily build a beautiful golf putting green backyard.
Putting green turf can be fully customized to your yard layout and designed with a complete system:
- Putting Surface
- Fringe Area
- Rough Area
You can transform any corner of your yard into a functional golf practice space.
Natural greens often struggle with standing water during rainy seasons.
A synthetic golf green uses engineered drainage holes that allow rainwater — or even pet urine — to drain quickly, keeping the surface playable in minutes.
A golf turf putting green is built with high-density fibers, UV resistance, and anti-wear technology.
This ensures 8–15 years of reliable performance without replacement, fading, or degradation.

How to Install Artificial Putting Green in Your Backyard
Design Your Putting Green Layout
A good design ensures your putting green feels natural, looks beautiful, and fits perfectly with your backyard lifestyle. A putting green shouldn’t look like an isolated patch.It should seamlessly blend into your yard’s overall landscape — such as: Children’s play areas, BBQ & outdoor dining zones, Pet-friendly spaces。Consider the Size & Shape ，Common sizes:
Small: 12×15 ft
Medium: 15×25 ft
Large: 20×30+ ft
Shapes like kidney bean, circle, “S” curve, or free-form are popular because they look more natural.
A well-designed layout creates a multifunctional entertainment space, not just a golf surface. Plan for Putting Surface + Fringe + Rough，This combination makes practice more realistic and fun.
Prepare the Base
- Slope improves the putting experience
- Prevents puddles
- Makes practice more fun and realistic
- 2–3 inches of crushed rock
- Compact it with a plate compactor
- Ensure the surface is firm and even
- Rainwater flow direction
- Pet urine drainage
- Low spots (need leveling)
- Proper sub-base compaction
Choose the Right Putting Green Turf
Not all putting green artificial grass is the same.
If you want a true, professional-quality ball roll, you must select your turf based on fiber material, density, and face weight — not just appearance.
Turf Material
- Nylon: Extremely durable, holds its shape, and delivers the fastest, most consistent roll. Higher cost, but ideal for golfers who want a tour-level putting surface.
- High-Density PE :
Softer underfoot and more budget-friendly, offering a smooth and realistic roll suitable for most backyard putting green projects.
Face Weight
A higher turf weight means more density, which results in a smoother, truer ball roll.
Recommended specs for premium putting green turf:
- Face Weight: 50–80 oz
- Total Weight: 80–100 oz
Backyard Putting Green Installation
Properly Seam the Putting Surface
A poorly handled seam will affect ball direction and roll quality, so this step is crucial.To achieve a clean, professional putting surface, the turf should be installed with:
- Seam tape and outdoor-grade adhesive
- Clean, tight, well-aligned seams
- Correct fiber direction throughout the surface
- Brushed-in fibers to make the seam virtually invisible
Seam the Fringe & Rough Areas Correctly
One of the most overlooked — yet most important — parts of installation is the transition between the putting surface and the fringe/rough.Good transitions are what make a backyard putting green look truly professional.
Because the turf heights are different, you must ensure:
- A clean, smooth transition
- No bumps, dips, or “height steps”
- Proper leveling between zones
- Clean, precise cutting for a natural look (professional edging cuts)
Secure the Perimeter
Stretch the turf tightly and secure it firmly to ensure it stays flush against the base, prevents lifting, and maintains a clean, finished look.
Proper edge securing affects both the appearance and lifespan of your putting green. Use:Landscape nails 、U-pins、Perimeter adhesive
