If you’re looking to build an entire indoor golf facility in Greenwich or you’re only wanting to get a personal putting area in yourhouse’s cellar for practice, synthetic turf is what you are looking for. Read more to learn more about synthetic grass for indoor golf.

 

WHY ARTIFICIAL GRASS FOR INDOORS?

An indoor golf green won’t just enhance the aesthetic of your room, it will also allow you to practice your golf game in any season or weather. Synthetic grass is a great answer for golf simulator areas, short game putting areas, and a lot more. Artificial grass for indoor golf is:

  • Effortless to maintain
  • Economical
  • Extremely customizable
  • An increase to property value

HOW ACCURATE IS INDOOR GOLF?

This will mainly depend on the quality of the turf employed for your indoor golf area. Lower quality materials will cause the ball to roll oddly, and unlevel surfaces will make putting tough. Bunker zones need to to be built with careful thought for indoor installations. You can know more information on our indoor putting greens here.

On the other side of indoor golf (simulators), you can expect golf simulators to be quite accurate. Many have a distance accuracy of nearly 95% or better. A few golf simulators will enable you to play with an actual ball, while inexpensive simulators will need a specific practice ball. This practice ball does not have similar results as a real ball and golf hitting mat outdoors, so keep that in mind.

 

IS ARTIFICIAL GRASS COSTLY TO INSTALL?

It’s tough to estimate just how much an indoor golf surface will cost to install, but you can usually plan on spending between $15 and $30+ per sq ft of grass installed. A few elements which affect the price are:

  • Base materials
  • Dimensions
  • Design
  • Site access/prep
  • Golf features

CAN SHORT GAME OR PUTTING COURSES BE INDOORS?

Yes! The primary constraint are the dimensions of the space you wish to install a short game or putting course indoors. With these, you won’t have to be concerned with balls getting hit into the ceiling since there will only be small strokes on the ball for short game development. Golf entertainment is growing into a big market, so if you have the indoor space to offer putting courses, it can be very beneficial to your property.

 

WHAT DOES INDOOR TURF INSTALLATION INVOLVE?

Indoor artificial grass installation can be quite easy due to the fact that there is no need for digging or leveling the earth first. A normal indoor golf green installation will need the following steps:

  1. The floor cleaned, and free of debris, and any cracks filled in and sealed
  2. Installation of materials utilized to make uneven surfaces like sand traps
  3. Lay and secure a shock pad to make a soft and safe surface
  4. Place synthetic turf and fasten edges
