What Kind Of Artificial Turf Works Best For Putting Greens?

One of the most popular uses for artificial turf is to create an at-home putting green. And why not? Yes, golf greens require specialized types of grass to provide proper flexibility and ball roll, but that’s why Heavenly Greens offers multiple types of turf designed especially to meet these standards. You can create a putting green for family fun or one that will challenge you every time you step up to the ball.

Different types of grass perform differently
Artificial turf designed for backyard putting greens is not the same as the grass you would use for your lawn. Even golf-specific turf products can be quite different from one another. Each type provides amazingly realistic performance based on its purpose.

Bent grass style with very short blades is commonly used for putting surfaces. Texturized turf works nicely, whether you’re strictly a casual player or Pro-Am serious about the game. Slit-film style mimics the natural grass you see on gold courses. Its blades are trimmed off along the top, producing the same effect as mower-trimmed grass. Avid golfers like this style, as it allows tournament-level practice.

Fringe grass is taller and straighter. As an option, we can install that around your green, so you can practice chipping as well as putting. (Fringe gives your green that “real golf course” look, too.) We also have a variety of grass specifically made for tee boxes – another option you can add to expand the skills-improvement value of your backyard putting green.
