How much does a backyard putting green cost?

Putting green costs vary based on size, complexity, and features. A basic 300-square-foot green typically starts around $6,000 to $8,000. Larger greens with custom contours, multiple holes, and fringe areas can range from $10,000 to $20,000 or more. We provide detailed quotes after assessing your space and design goals.

How realistic is artificial putting green turf?

Professional putting green turf is remarkably realistic. The ball rolls true with consistent speed and break, just like a real green. Many golfers say they cannot tell the difference during practice. We can adjust the speed to match your preferences, from slower practice speeds to fast tournament conditions.

Can I practice chipping onto the green?

Yes, putting green turf is designed to handle chip shots and pitch shots. We can also add fringe areas around the green with slightly longer turf to create realistic landing zones. Some clients add dedicated chipping mats or hitting areas for full practice sessions.

Backyard Putting Greens Kennewick, WA | Custom Golf Greens

Custom golf putting greens for your Kennewick home that play like a real course.

Practice Your Game at Home

Serious golfers know that great putting takes practice. Lots of practice. But driving to the course or practice facility every day is not realistic for most people. What if you could step into your backyard and practice whenever you want?

That is exactly what a custom backyard putting green gives you. We design and install professional-grade synthetic putting surfaces that play just like real golf course greens. Work on your short game before breakfast, practice after work, or challenge friends on weekends. Your personal putting green is always ready.

Built to Golf Course Standards

Not all putting green turf is the same. The cheap stuff you see at big box stores does not roll true, and it wears out fast. We install professional putting green turf designed specifically for golf. This is the same material used at practice facilities and indoor golf centers.

Here is what makes our putting greens different:

True-roll surface engineered for consistent ball speed
Multiple speed options from slow practice greens to tournament-fast
Custom contours, breaks, and undulations just like a real course
Regulation golf cups that fit standard flagsticks
Fringe and rough areas to practice chip shots
UV-resistant fibers that maintain speed and feel for years

We work with you to design a green that fits your space and skill level. Want a simple flat green for stroke practice? We can do that. Want multiple holes with slopes and breaks to simulate course conditions? We can do that too. Every green is custom built to your specifications.

More Than Just Putting

A backyard putting green is not just about sinking putts. It becomes an entertainment space, a conversation piece, and a way to enjoy your yard more. Kids love it. Friends want to try it. And it adds unique value to your property.

Many of our Kennewick clients add chipping areas around their greens. We install different turf heights to create realistic fringe and rough zones. This lets you practice short chips, pitch shots, and bunker escapes right at home. It is like having a personal practice facility in your backyard.

We also incorporate putting greens into larger landscape designs. Your green can flow naturally into artificial grass lawns, gardens, or patio spaces. The result is a beautiful, functional outdoor area that serves multiple purposes.

Installation That Delivers Performance

The quality of a putting green comes down to installation. The surface needs to be perfectly smooth and properly graded for drainage. Even tiny imperfections affect ball roll. That is why we take base preparation seriously.

We start by excavating and grading the area to your desired contours. Then we build a stable base using crushed rock and decomposed granite. This base is compacted and laser-leveled to ensure a perfectly smooth surface. We install drainage systems to prevent water from pooling on the green.

Next comes the putting turf itself. We stretch and secure it properly to eliminate any bumps or seams. Golf cups are installed flush with the surface. The edges are trimmed and secured. Finally, we add sand infill to weight down the turf and fine-tune the ball speed. The result is a green that rolls true every time.

Design Options and Features

Your putting green should match your goals and space. Here are some popular options our Kennewick clients choose:

Size and Shape: Greens can be as small as 200 square feet or as large as 1,000+ square feet. We design shapes that fit your yard and provide interesting hole placements.

Number of Holes: Most greens have 3 to 9 cups. Multiple holes let you change up your practice routine and create different putting challenges.

Breaks and Contours: We can build flat greens, gently sloping greens, or complex designs with multiple tiers and dramatic breaks.

Surrounding Features: Add fringe areas, chipping mats, bunkers, or even decorative pavers and borders to complete the look.

Lighting: We can coordinate with electricians to add landscape lighting so you can practice after dark.

Low Maintenance, High Enjoyment

Once your putting green is installed, it requires almost no maintenance. Brush it occasionally to keep the fibers standing up. Remove leaves and debris. That is about it. No watering, no mowing, no fertilizing. Your green stays perfect year-round.

The turf holds up to daily use without wearing out. UV stabilizers prevent fading from sun exposure. The backing resists damage from rain and temperature changes. With proper installation, a quality putting green lasts 15 to 20 years.
