Are backyard golf greens possible?
I have been maintaining golf greens for 20 years with 6 as a golf course superintendent. I have also consulted for people who have built putting greens in their backyards and realized that with the right knowledge and equipment it does not have to be out of reach of the average person. This site should help to guide you in making the right important decisions to explore this possibility.
The most important consideration is whether your site is suitable and will provide the turf with the necessary conditions for healthy growth. These include good full sun, air movement, well drained and a water source able to adequately irrigate the grass. Another issue is whether you have the time required to maintain it or the money to hire a qualified person for this task. If any of the above questions is negative, there is still a solution in artificial turf golf greens.
Some golfers are fortunate to have enough space to build a whole green complex with bunkers or maybe even a complete hole with a tee deck and fairway. All of those dreams are explored in this site, including where to find the necessary accessories such as cups and flags, bunker rakes or proper mowers.
