Custom Design for Your Space

Every putting green we build is unique. Some golfers want a simple flat green for practicing straight putts. Others prefer complex designs with multiple breaks, undulations, and challenging slopes. We work with you to create a green that matches your goals and fits your available space.

Small yards can accommodate compact greens with two or three cups. Larger properties allow for elaborate designs with chipping areas, sand traps, and fringe that mimics real course conditions. We can incorporate natural contours in your yard or build custom elevation changes that create interesting putts.

Our custom putting green installations in Salinas use professional-grade synthetic turf that rolls true and plays like bentgrass greens. The ball reacts naturally, giving you realistic practice that translates to better performance on the course.

How We Build Your Putting Green

Building a quality putting green requires precision and expertise. We start by mapping out the design and marking cup locations. Then we excavate and grade the area to create the exact contours you want. The base must be perfectly smooth because any imperfection will affect ball roll.

After compacting the base, we install a shock-absorbing pad that gives the surface a realistic feel. The putting green turf goes on next, cut and seamed carefully to ensure smooth transitions. We install cups at regulation depth and add any fringe or rough areas your design includes.

Finally, we test the green extensively. We roll balls from multiple directions to verify speed and break accuracy. Any adjustments needed are made before we consider the job complete. The result is a green that plays consistently and meets your expectations.

Complete Your Backyard Oasis

Many clients combine putting greens with other landscaping improvements. Our residential artificial grass installation creates lush surroundings that frame your green beautifully. If you have pets, we can separate their play area from your putting green using our specialized pet turf systems.

We also add lighting for night practice, seating areas for spectators, and landscaping that creates a true backyard retreat where you can relax and work on your game.
