Whether you are looking to build a complete indoor golf facility in Phoenix or you’re only going to install a personal putting area in yourhouse’s basement for practice, artificial turf is the answer you want. Continue reading to learn more regarding artificial grass for indoor golf.
WHY ARTIFICIAL GRASS FOR INDOORS?
An indoor golf green will not simply transform the appearance of your room, but will also allow you to practice your golf game in any season or weather. Synthetic grass is a perfect solution for golf simulator areas, short game putting areas, and a lot more. Synthetic turf for indoor golf is:
- Simple to maintain
- Economical
- Highly customizable
- Increases property value
HOW ACCURATE IS INDOOR GOLF?
This will largely depend on the quality of the grass employed for your indoor putting area. Cheaper products will cause the ball to roll weirdly, and unlevel surfaces will make putting tough. Bunker zones need to be designed with careful consideration for indoor uses. You can know more details on our indoor putting greens here.
On the other side of indoor golf (simulators), you can trust golf simulators to be pretty accurate. Most feature a distance accuracy of around 95% or better. Some golf simulators will permit you to hit a real ball, on the other hand, lower-cost simulators will need a special practice ball. This practice ball won’t have similar results as a real ball and golf hitting mat outdoors, so keep that in mind.
IS SYNTHETIC TURF PRICEY TO INSTALL?
It is difficult to quote just how much an indoor golf surface will cost to install, but you can usually plan on spending around $15 and $30+ per square foot of grass installed. Some elements that impact the cost are:
- Base materials
- Dimensions
- Design
- Site access/prep
- Golf features

CAN SHORT GAME OR PUTTING COURSES BE INDOORS?
Yes! The biggest limitation are the dimensions of the space you wish to install your short game or putting course indoors. With these, you won’t have to worry about balls getting hit into the ceiling due to the fact that there will simply be small strokes on the ball for short game development. Golf entertainment is turning into a huge market, so if you have the indoor area to install putting courses, it can be extremely useful to your property.
WHAT DOES INDOOR GRASS INSTALLATION INVOLVE?
Indoor artificial turf installation can be fairly simple since there is no requirement for excavating or leveling the ground first. A normal indoor golf green installation will have the following steps:
- The floor cleaned, and clear of debris, and any cracks filled up and sealed
- Installation of materials used to create uneven surfaces like sand traps
- Lay and fasten a shock pad to get a soft and safe surface
- Install synthetic grass and secure edges
