The Benefits of an Artificial Grass Putting Green
If you play golf at a club, you may have only encountered natural grass to play on. At the club, there will be a dedicated team of professionals hired to look after and maintain it. If you're considering a putting green in your home then you'll need to factor in the maintenance and care, that’s why artificial grass putting greens are a popular choice.
Putting greens need to be trimmed regularly so the blades have the correct height
A regular putting green on a golf course will have blades of around 14mm in height. If you decide to have a putting green installed in your own back garden it will need to be cut on a regular basis. It will need a lot of time dedicated to maintaining the pristine condition needed to play on. No weeds, no flowers, no stray uneven grasses.
Drainage and aeration helps to avoid puddles and wet patches
You will also need drainage. You won't be able to play or practice on a putting green that’s become water logged. So there’s a lot to consider. But don’t let that put you off having one in your garden, you can create your own perfect little golf course and it doesn't have to be hard.
Have you considered an artificial grass putting green?
There is an alternative to the hard work and time you’d need with natural grass. You could invest in an artificial grass putting green instead. This is because once it’s installed, it will be ready almost right away. You can start practising on it, so when you go on the actual course you’ll be well prepared. What’s good about an artificial grass putting green is that you won’t have to wait until the grass has reached the right length. You'll have a lawn that's ready to go.
Don’t worry about maintenance anymore, it’ll more or less take care of itself
Once you've installed artificial grass it will need minimum care. All it will need is the occasional sweeping and removing of debris from things that have blown into the garden. There are many quality artificial grasses to choose from, you won't even be able to tell it's fake. Things have come a long way since the days of astro turf. Artificial grasses are far more sophisticated than they once were. And you can pick one that has the exact length you need for a putting green with a shorter pile. It'll give you a round of golf practice that's an absolute dream.
