Why add an artificial grass practice golf club putting green?
A dedicated golf club putting green is one of the best investments a golf club can make. It gives members and visitors a reliable, year‑round facility to practise short game skills — the part of golf that most improves scores. Artificial grass greens deliver consistent ball roll, low ongoing maintenance and high durability, so clubs benefit from reduced upkeep costs and more player satisfaction.
Benefits of golf club putting greens at a glance
- Consistent performance: Modern golf turf systems reproduce realistic ball roll and pace, providing a repeatable surface for practising speed, line and lag putting.
- All‑weather availability: Properly constructed synthetic greens drain quickly and remain playable after rain, frost or heavy use.
- Low maintenance: No mowing, fertilising or frequent topdressing. Routine care is straightforward and inexpensive compared with natural turf.
- Cost effective: Lower long‑term maintenance and water savings make artificial greens an economical option for limited budgets or to supplement existing facilities.
- Flexible placement: Greens can be built almost anywhere on club grounds — near the clubhouse, by the driving range, in spare corners, or next to teaching bays.
- Inclusive and accessible: Create safe, level practice areas for juniors, seniors and disabled golfers with controlled gradients and easy access.
- Durable: Quality installation resists wear from high footfall, frequent practice and equipment, giving many years of service.

Design considerations
- Green speed and consistency: Select turf and build profile to achieve the desired Stimp readings and guarantee consistent roll across the surface.
- Size and complexity: From small practice greens (20–100 m²) to full multi‑hole layouts; larger greens allow shot‑making practice like bump‑and‑run and chipping.
- Slopes and undulations: Carefully engineered gradients provide realistic challenge without compromising accessibility or water management.
- Drainage and water management: Adequate fall to drainage systems is essential to prevent pooling and maintain playability after heavy rain.
- Safety and accessibility: Non‑slip surrounds, gentle ramps and firm edges for trolleys and wheelchair access.
- Environmental impact: Reduced water and chemical use, and options for recyclable turf systems where available.
Maintenance — simple and cost‑effective
Although maintenance is minimal compared with natural greens, a small routine programme keeps the surface performing at its best:
- Weekly brushing to maintain pile upright and even playing characteristics.
- Occasional debris removal and leaf sweeping.
- Annual deep clean and infill top‑up where required.
- Inspect seams and edges periodically; repair minor damage promptly to avoid deterioration. We provide a tailored maintenance plan and can train your grounds staff or offer scheduled maintenance packages.
Typical applications for golf clubs
- Member practice greens adjacent to the clubhouse.
- Short game areas for coaching clinics and junior development.
