Whether you are wanting to make a complete indoor golf facility in Oakley or you’re just wanting to add a personal putting area in your basement to practice, synthetic turf is the solution you need. Read on to know more regarding synthetic turf for indoor golf.

 

WHY ARTIFICIAL GRASS FOR INDOORS?

An indoor putting green will not only enhance the appearance of your area, but will also allow you to practice your golf game in any climate. Synthetic grass is a great solution for golf simulator areas, short game putting areas, and a lot more. Artificial turf for indoor golf is:

  • Effortless to maintain
  • Economical
  • Highly customizable
  • An increase to property value

HOW ACCURATE IS INDOOR GOLF?

This will largely depend on the quality of the turf used for your indoor putting area. Inexpensive products will cause the ball to roll strangely, and unlevel surfaces will make putting challenging. Bunker sections must to be planned with careful thought for indoor uses. You can learn more info on our indoor putting greens here.

On the other side of indoor golf (simulators), you can count on golf simulators to be pretty precise. The majority include a distance accuracy of around 95% or more. A handful of golf simulators will enable you to hit an actual ball, while inexpensive simulators will require a special practice ball. This practice ball will not have the same results as an actual ball and golf hitting mat outside, so keep that in mind.

 

IS ARTIFICIAL TURF COSTLY TO INSTALL?

It’s tough to estimate just how much an indoor golf area will cost to install, but you can typically plan on spending between $15 and $30+ per square foot of grass installed. The elements which affect the cost are:

  • Base materials
  • Dimensions
  • Design
  • Site access/prep
  • Golf features

CAN SHORT GAME OR PUTTING COURSES BE INDOORS?

Yes! The primary restriction is the size of the space you want to install your short game or putting course indoors. With these, you will not have to be troubled by balls getting hit into the ceiling because there will just be soft strokes on the ball for short game development. Golf entertainment is becoming a big market, so if you have the indoor space to provide putting courses, it can be very helpful to your property.

 

WHAT DOES INDOOR GRASS INSTALLATION INVOLVE?

Indoor synthetic grass installation can be quite straightforward due to the fact that there’s no requirement for excavating or leveling the surface first. A regular indoor golf green installation will need the following steps:

  1. The floor cleaned, and clear of debris, and any cracks filled and sealed
  2. Installation of materials used to make varied surfaces like bunkers
  3. Install and fasten a shock pad to get a soft and safe surface
  4. Place artificial grass and secure edges
