Find out why many professional golfers prefer to play on synthetic turf.


Champions such as Hale Irwin, Vijay Singh, and Jim Furyk all use and endorse the premium synthetic golf putting greens by Southwest Greens. These pros know that artificial greens are the best on the market. Why do they love our greens? Here are a few of the reasons.


EXPERT QUALITY

Because of its high-quality design, artificial grass is an ideal choice for all facets of golf. All golfers are familiar with the excessive wear that happens on a putting green of golf course. Regular grass is more likely to be damaged by golfing activities. Southwest Greens has mastered the art and science of artificial turf installation. We have designed and installed over 6,000 golf greens worldwide as luxurious golf courses, backyard putting greens, and more.


REAL FEEL

While all of our golf greens mimic natural grass, Golden Bear is one of our customer’s preferred turfs. Golden Bear turf is designed in partnership with Nicklaus Design. This high-quality artificial turf rolls, bounces, and receives like a pro course. Shot after shot, the best aim of any putting surface is Golden Bear. The playability is so real you will swear you are playing on organic grass.


LOOKS BETTER

There is nothing like seeing a perfectly manicured green lawn. With synthetic turf, you can enjoy a gorgeous green with hardly any maintenance year-round. You can select from a range of grass blade types, colors, and weights so you can get the look you want. Our experts can help create a completely personalized experience for your needs.


DURABLE

By investing in artificial turf, you immediately cut down on the amount of maintenance required to keep it looking great. Our turf maintains its durability year after year, use after use. It will not fade from the sun or compress with heavy foot traffic. Never mow or water again when you invest in synthetic turf.


PEST-FREE

Even if you aren’t the one maintaining your golf greens, you know weeds and pests will overtake large areas of organic grass. This not only looks bad, but it can also wreak havoc on your allergies. With artificial turf, you won’t have to worry about weeds, animals, or insects. Because they can’t eat it, animals and bugs won’t hang around to munch on your grass.
