Backyard Putting Greens

Your Personal Practice Green at Home

Imagine stepping into your backyard to practice putting whenever you want, without driving to the course or paying green fees. A custom backyard putting green gives you unlimited access to quality practice time right at home. Many San Mateo golf enthusiasts have discovered that having a putting green in their yard dramatically improves their short game while adding unique appeal to their property. You can practice in the early morning before work, during your lunch break, or under outdoor lighting in the evening. Your putting green becomes a functional practice space and an impressive landscape feature that friends and family enjoy.

Custom Design Options for Your Space

Every putting green we install is completely customized for your backyard and skill level. We design greens that fit your available space, whether that's a small practice area or a multi-hole green that challenges your skills. Here's what we can include:

• Multiple holes with varying difficulty and break patterns
• Custom contours and slopes that simulate real course conditions
• Fringe areas with different turf heights around the green
• Sand bunkers or chipping areas for additional practice options
• Lighting systems for evening practice sessions
• Surrounding artificial turf or landscaping integration

Professional-Quality Turf and Installation

The quality of your putting green depends entirely on the materials and installation process. We use specialized putting green turf that's completely different from standard artificial grass. This turf features shorter, denser fibers that allow golf balls to roll smoothly and consistently, just like bent grass on a real course. The base preparation is critical for proper ball roll and drainage. We create a precisely graded foundation with multiple layers of crushed rock and sand, compacted to exact specifications. The result is a surface that plays like a professional green with consistent speed and true ball roll. Your backyard putting green will challenge your skills and help you lower your scores on the course.

Low Maintenance, High Enjoyment

Unlike natural grass greens that require constant mowing, watering, and maintenance, your artificial putting green needs minimal care. A quick sweep to remove leaves and debris, occasional rinsing to clean the surface, and periodic brushing to keep the fibers standing upright are all you need to do. You won't spend time or money on fertilizers, pesticides, or specialized mowing equipment. The green stays perfect year-round regardless of weather or season. Many of our clients tell us they use their putting greens almost daily because they're always ready to play with zero prep work.
