Not all synthetic grasses are made equal or for the same reason. If you’re looking for high-quality synthetic turf for a commercial or residential golf green project or installation, you can’t just buy the first roll of artificial grass you see from your local Phoenix hardware store and trust that it will provide you with the same play experience as the greens at the golf course. Also if that turf isn’t even made for golf. No, you need a product where a chip shot will land, bounce, roll, stop, and react as naturally to a real golf green as possible. And to fully benefit from your investment, you want a putt to break and roll realistically from club face to the cup too. It is not too much to want for your lawn, professional player or not.


The attributes and qualities to check for when researching artificial grass for your golf green projects should be, predictably, the play characteristics of actual golf courses. Let’s start with landing on the green. When you successfully get a chip shot on the green, you would assume it will land by the grass properly, bounce properly, and roll as intended. Hopefully, towards the cup. That last part is up to you, though. Unfortunately, many artificial grass products can’t provide that, failing to provide the same bounce as natural greens. Our products are specifically and scientifically developed to be accurate in this way and ensure 20-25% more ball retention than other leading artificial grass products.


Arguably, it’s putting where the proper roll, aim, and true golf ball action become even more critical. How can you possibly improve putt consistency when you are putting on a low-quality turf that does not have natural action? Whether you struggle with cut-throughs, spin, shoving, putter release, or even recovering from missed putts, natural golf ball action matters. Practicing your aim and routine on a synthetic golf green that isn’t up to the same standard as the greens at the course can be damaging to your game instead of helpful. If you want to improve your putting, you have to discover a genuine feeling artificial grass made for golf. Our synthetic grass for golf isn’t only designed to this end; many professional players you’ve heard of stand by it.
