If you’re looking to make a complete indoor golf facility in Jacksonville or you’re only looking to add a personal putting area in your home’s basement so you can practice, synthetic turf is the solution you need. Keep reading to learn more regarding synthetic turf for indoor golf.

WHY SYNTHETIC GRASS FOR INDOORS?

An indoor golf green won’t just enhance the aesthetic of your space, it will also allow you to practice your golf game any time of the year. Artificial turf is a great solution for golf simulators, short game putting spaces, and a lot more. Synthetic grass for indoor golf is:

• Effortless to maintain
• Cost-effective
• Extremely customizable
• Good for property value

HOW ACCURATE IS INDOOR GOLF?

This will greatly depend on the quality of the turf employed for your indoor putting area. Cheaper materials will cause the ball to roll weirdly, and unlevel surfaces will make putting tough. Bunker sections need to be planned with careful consideration for indoor installations. You can know more information about our indoor putting greens here.

On the other side of indoor golf (simulators), you can trust golf simulators to be pretty accurate. The majority have a distance accuracy of approximately 95% or better. A few golf simulators will allow you to hit an actual ball, whereas lower-cost simulators will require a proprietary practice ball. This practice ball won’t have the same results as a real ball and golf hitting mat outdoors, so remember that.

IS ARTIFICIAL GRASS COSTLY TO INSTALL?

It is hard to estimate exactly how much an indoor golf area will cost to install, but you can typically expect to spend between $15 and $30+ per sq ft of turf installed. Some aspects that influence the price are:

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

CAN SHORT GAME OR PUTTING COURSES BE INDOORS?

Absolutely! The biggest limitation are the dimensions of the space you want to install a short game or putting course indoors. With these, you don’t have to be concerned with balls shooting into the ceiling because there will simply be small strokes on the ball for short game improvement. Golf entertainment is turning into a huge market, so if you have the indoor area to install putting courses, it can be very beneficial to your property.

WHAT DOES INDOOR TURF INSTALLATION INVOLVE?

Indoor synthetic turf installation can be quite simple because there’s no need for digging or leveling the earth first. A typical indoor golf green installation will need the following steps:

1. The surface cleaned, and free of debris, and any cracks filled in and sealed
2. Installation of materials utilized to produce undulating surfaces like bunkers
3. Install and secure a shock pad to create a soft and safe surface
4. Install artificial turf and fasten edges
