Not all synthetic grasses are designed the same way or for the same intention. When looking for high-quality artificial grass for a commercial or residential golf green project or installation, you can’t just buy a roll of turf from your local Albuquerque sporting goods store and trust that it will give you the same golfing experience as the greens at the golf course. Especially if that turf isn’t even built for golf. No, you want a product where a chip shot will land, bounce, roll, stop, and behave as naturally to a professional golf green as possible. And to maximize your investment, you want a putt to break and roll as it should from club face to the cup too. It is not too much to ask for, professional player or not.


The attributes and qualities to look out for when doing your research on synthetic turf for your golf green projects should be, as expected, the play features of professional golf courses. Let’s get started with landing on the green. When you land a chip shot on the green, you expect it will land by the grass properly, bounce correctly, and roll naturally. Hopefully, towards the cup. That last part is up to you, though. Unfortunately, many synthetic turf products can’t offer that, unable to provide the same bounce real greens do. Our products are specially and scientifically made to be accurate in this regard and ensure 20-25% more ball retention than other leading artificial turf products.


Arguably, putting is where the proper roll, aim, and true golf ball action become even more critical. How can you possibly improve putt consistency if you’re putting on a low-quality turf that does not have natural action? Regardless of whether you struggle with cut-throughs, spin, shoving, putter release, or even recovering from missed putts, realistic golf ball action is important. Practicing your aim and game on a synthetic golf green that isn’t up to the same standard as the greens at the course could be more damaging to your game than good for it. If you want to improve your putting, you need to discover a realistic artificial grass developed for golf. Our synthetic grass for golf isn’t only designed to this end; many players you’ve heard of stand by it.
