How Much Does It Cost to Install an Artificial Golf Green?

Putting green is the type of turf and area of installation used for artificial grass that is implemented when creating a full or mini golf course. There are many courses that use natural grass, but due to environmental, convenience, and economic reasons, many places are making the change to turf. This is so that courses can enjoy all of the benefits of turf without all of the worry of grass.

When they make this switch, there are often many questions as to the cost, but not only the initial difference of installation prices between grass and turf, but also for the cost efficiency over several years. For grass use, you pay for the initial installation, then for its fertilizer, pesticide, and all of the tools for its upkeep which include–but are not limited to–a mower, weed-eater, rake, and leaf blower. On the other hand, when you install turf, you are investing in a ten to twenty year pristine lawn with little to no maintenance required.

It is important to any customer to be knowledgeable of their purchase and investment decisions before they are made, and when these investments rely on not only their own expertise, but also the experience of the company installing it, there is added pressure to their purchase. In order for you to be the most informed, you need to be aware of what makes artificial grass the best option for putting green.

The reasons are as follows:

• Turf is the safest option due to its flexibility and durability for athletes, coaches, and staff (in this case the golfers, caddies, and observers).

• Artificial turf lasts anywhere between ten to twenty years depending on the quality of the initial installation and the weather and wear conditions over that amount of time. Grass is constantly needing maintenance, and many times replacement after only a few years.

• Although the initial cost of synthetic putting green turf is much higher, the efficiency of the price is justified due to the lack of need for upkeep in comparison to grass. There is no need to purchase all of the tools, fertilizer, and pesticide for grass (nor hire companies for those needs) when synthetic turf is used.

• It is much more even, and even when heavy weather strikes, holes do not form and matting in grass is not an issue.

Overall, turf has the most cost efficiency, the best physical appearance, and the highest quality when in need of putting green for whatever uses you have for it, whether recreational or strictly business use.

Overall, it is crucial to show contractors what expectations you have, the space the project will take up, any structures in the space that may interfere with the installation, and the shape of the projects. Less important, but still needed is for you to determine which materials you want used in your synthetic lawn and to express this to the installers for your project. Depending on the area of your project you could have limited materials and differences in installation prices, so research is important before investing in a project like this! Companies are willing and ready, though, to accommodate whatever needs you may have for these projects!
