Golf

The backyard golf install splits two ways: a putting green where the homeowner wants to practice short game, or a chipping area where they want to practice approach shots with real distance. Most homes that ask for one end up wanting both, scaled to whatever the yard will allow.

Putting greens get the same nylon short-pile system we use across the residential golf category — sand-stabilized base, contoured to your spec, sand-infilled to within ⅛ inch of the surface. Roll speed lands in the 10–12 stimp range; you can dial it up or down by adjusting the sand fill at install.

Chipping aprons use a longer-pile, lower-density yarn that lets the ball sit up like a tight Bermuda fairway lie. We typically install the apron as a fringe around the green, six to ten feet deep on the high side, narrower elsewhere. The transition between green and apron is heat-welded, not glued — no visible seam, no edge to catch the ball.

A typical backyard golf install — 1,200 sq ft green plus 2,000 sq ft apron — runs five to seven days from demo to walkthrough. We’ve done thirty-plus in Palm Beach County in the last decade; the busiest installer of backyard greens in Boca and Delray.
