Luxury backyard putting green

If you’re serious about golf, what could be better than your own private putting green? The biggest decision to make is whether to install it inside or outside of your home (or both if you want 2 of them).

With your own private putting green, there’s no need to head to the local golf course to practice your putting. Instead do it in the comfort of your own home – so when you show up on the course, you’ll be a champ! After all, with a killer short game you can dramatically improve your golf score.

Indoor putting greens used to be simple affairs: a small textured roll of green surface that was laid out where space permitted, with a small plastic hole at the end. These still serve a purpose and work great in a small office environment, but more sophisticated options abound.

New models feature interlocking puzzle-piece construction, with nylon turf surfaces, for an endless variety of shape and application. These models will conform to the contours of natural surfaces, allowing for slopes and breaks in any yard. Foam inserts can be used as well to create the same design indoors on a flat surface.

Outdoors, an even more luxurious experience can be found via custom designer links. Rolled turf can be shaped into any shape you can imagine, placed on any sloped or flat surface, and made to accommodate any specific placement desired.

The natural surfaces can stand out in a garden or adjacent to a patio, or be made to integrate with an existing fresh lawn. With the tools to form any ground contours, these putting greens are the most dynamic offering available. Professional looking designer greens can make any yard into a compact, beautiful course befitting a country club, right at your doorstep.

Below are some amazing golf putting greens to get ideas flowing for your private putting green.
