Backyard Putting Greens

Why Golfers in Ocala Are Installing Putting Greens

You love golf, but you don't always have time to drive to the course for practice. That's where a backyard putting green changes everything. Imagine stepping outside your back door and having a professional-quality putting surface just steps away. No tee times, no crowds, no commute. Just pure practice whenever you want it. We design and install custom putting greens for Ocala homeowners who are serious about improving their short game or just love having a unique outdoor feature.

Our putting green installations use the same premium synthetic turf that professional training facilities use. The ball rolls true, the surface is consistent in all weather, and you can practice year-round without worrying about rain, drought, or Florida's summer heat killing your grass. Plus, it adds serious value and visual appeal to your property.

Custom Design Options for Every Backyard

No two putting greens are the same. We work with you to design a green that fits your space, skill level, and goals. Here's what you can customize:

• Size and shape from compact 200-square-foot practice areas to large 1,000+ square-foot greens with multiple holes
• Contours and breaks to match real course conditions, from flat practice surfaces to challenging slopes
• Multiple hole locations so you can practice different putts and keep things interesting
• Fringe and rough areas around the green to practice chipping and approach shots
• Custom flags and cups that match your favorite course or personal style
• Landscape integration with sand traps, edging, and plantings to create a professional look

Whether you want a simple flat practice surface or a complex green with elevation changes and multiple pins, we can build it. Many Ocala clients combine their putting green with residential turf in other parts of their yard for a complete outdoor upgrade.

The Performance and Feel of Real Golf Greens

There's a big difference between cheap synthetic turf and professional putting green surfaces. We use specialized turf products made specifically for golf. The fibers are shorter, denser, and cut to precise lengths to create accurate ball roll and realistic putting speeds. You can adjust the stimp rating (how fast the ball rolls) based on your preferences, whether you want a slower practice surface or tournament-level speed.

The base construction is just as important as the turf itself. We create a perfectly level and contoured foundation with proper drainage so your green performs consistently in all weather. Rain won't create puddles or soft spots, and the surface stays playable even after Florida's heaviest storms. Most of our clients are amazed at how realistic the ball behavior is compared to their local courses.

Maintenance and Long-Term Value

Unlike natural grass greens that require constant mowing, rolling, aerating, and chemical treatments, synthetic putting greens need almost zero maintenance. You might brush the surface occasionally to keep the fibers upright, and rinsing it off once in a while keeps it clean. That's it. No mowers, no sprinklers, no fertilizer. Just grab your putter and play.

The turf is designed to last 15 to 20 years with normal use, and it won't fade or wear out from sun exposure or practice sessions. Many Ocala homeowners see their putting greens as an investment that pays off in both enjoyment and property value. It's a unique feature that makes your home stand out, and if you ever sell, buyers who love golf will absolutely notice it. For those looking to combine turf with hardscaping, our paver and turf installations create beautiful transitions around the green.
