Low-Maintenance Golf Club Chipping Areas

Transform Your Club's Short Game

Give your members the space and facilities they want for short-game practice with quality golf club chipping areas designed and built by RL Golf Construction Ltd. We specialise in creating functional, durable and low‑maintenance chipping zones that blend with your course, improve practice routines and enhance the overall member experience.

 

Why add a golf club chipping area?

  • Improves short‑game practice: Members can focus on chipping technique, distance control and recovery shots in a dedicated space.
  • Reduces course wear: Concentrated practice away from greens and tee complexes prevents damage and cuts maintenance costs.
  • Appeals to all abilities: From beginners learning basic techniques to low‑handicap players refining finesse, chipping areas are useful to every golfer.
  • Boosts member satisfaction: A well‑designed practice facility is a visible investment in player development and club facilities.

What we deliver

  • Site assessment and design: We assess land availability, turf conditions and sightlines to produce a layout that suits your club’s needs and budget.
  • Multiple target options: We install single or multiple hole targets, raised and recessed targets, tiered landing areas and varied pin positions to replicate on‑course challenges.
  • Turf solutions: Choose from fine turf, hybrid systems or our proven synthetic surfaces designed for realistic ball reaction, consistent performance and low maintenance.
  • Contoured landing areas: Subtle slopes and hollows create realistic chip trajectories and require players to consider angle, spin and roll.
  • Bunker and fringe integration: Add practice bunkers and fringe zones for full short‑game practice, including sand play and bunker exits.
  • Drainage and durability: All installations include effective drainage, rootzone construction and robust edging to ensure longevity and year‑round use.
  • Accessibility and safety: We design safe walkways, clear sightlines and appropriate signage so the area is accessible for members of all ages and abilities.

Design options tailored to your club

  • Compact single‑hole practice area for limited space
  • Multi‑target chipping green with variable pin positions
  • Chipping bay with multiple lie types and turf transitions
  • Integrated short‑game complex combining chipping, pitching and a teaching area
  • Junior and beginner zones with gentler slopes and larger targets

Low maintenance by design

Our construction methods, materials and drainage systems are chosen to minimise upkeep. After handover, your greens team will need only routine tasks such as brushing, occasional topdressing of chosen turf types, and basic bunker maintenance — leaving more time and budget for other course priorities.

Benefits to your club

  • Improved practice facilities that support coaching programmes and membership recruitment
  • Reduced wear on greens from on‑course practice shots
  • Low ongoing maintenance costs and reliable year‑round availability
  • Enhanced clubhouse offering — a visible upgrade that adds value to membership packages
