Why a Putting Green?
Your Backyard Could Be
Your Backyard Could Be
More Than Empty Grass
Most golfers only practice when they finally make it to the course. A custom backyard putting green changes that — and makes your outdoor space something you actually want to use.
Entertain Outside
A putting green gets family, friends, and guests outdoors and creates memories in your own backyard.
Upgrade the Property
Turn unused lawn into a premium outdoor feature that elevates your home's curb appeal and livability.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before requesting your free layout.
Pricing depends on size, layout, turf system, site preparation, access, fringe or chipping areas, and project details. The first step is a free layout request so we can understand your space and give a realistic direction.
Yes. Many homeowners want a putting green with a fringe or short-game area. The right layout depends on your yard size and how you plan to use the space.
Not always. Smaller practice greens work well in compact spaces. Larger yards allow for more cup placements, shape, fringe, and short-game features.
Not at all. Some clients want a serious practice setup. Others want a unique backyard feature for family, friends, and entertaining — no golf skill required.
