If you’re trying to build a whole indoor golf facility in Albuquerque or you are only going to get a putting area in your cellar to practice, synthetic turf is the solution you want. Read on to find out more regarding artificial turf for indoor golf.
WHY ARTIFICIAL GRASS FOR INDOORS?
An indoor golf green will not only transform the appearance of your space, it will also enable you to practice your golf game in any season or weather. Artificial turf is a perfect solution for golf simulators, short game putting spaces, and a whole lot more. Artificial turf for indoor golf is:
- Effortless to maintain
- Economical
- Highly customizable
- Increases property value
HOW ACCURATE IS INDOOR GOLF?
This will greatly vary based on the quality of the turf used for your indoor golf area. Cheaper products will cause the ball to roll weirdly, and uneven surfaces will make putting difficult. Bunker areas need to be planned with careful thought for indoor installations. You can know more info about our indoor putting greens here.
On the opposite side of indoor golf (simulators), you can count on golf simulators to be very accurate. Many have a distance accuracy of nearly 95% or better. Some golf simulators will permit you to use a real ball, whereas inexpensive simulators will need a specific practice ball. This practice ball does not have the same outcomes as a real ball and golf hitting mat outside, so remember that.
IS ARTIFICIAL GRASS EXPENSIVE TO INSTALL?
It is hard to determine exactly how much an indoor golf surface will cost to install, but you can typically plan to spend in the neighborhood of $15 and $30+ per square foot of turf 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 constraint is the size of the space you wish to install a short game or putting course indoors. With these, you do not have to be troubled by balls sailing into the ceiling since there will simply be small strokes on the ball for short game practice. Golf entertainment is turning into a large market, so if you have the indoor space to install putting courses, it can be very beneficial to your property.
WHAT DOES INDOOR TURF INSTALLATION INVOLVE?
Indoor artificial turf installation can be pretty straightforward since there’s no reason for excavating or leveling the ground first. A typical indoor golf grass installation will need the following steps:
- The floor cleaned, and any debris removed, and any cracks filled up and sealed
- Installation of materials utilized to produce undulating surfaces such as sand traps
- Install and fasten a shock pad to make a soft and safe surface
- Place artificial turf and secure edges
