WHY ARTIFICIAL TURF FOR INDOORS?

HOW ACCURATE IS INDOOR GOLF?
This will greatly depend on the quality of the green used for your indoor putting area. Cheaper products will cause the ball to roll oddly, and uneven surfaces will make putting challenging. Bunker zones need to to be built with careful consideration for indoor applications. You can learn more information about our indoor putting greens here.
On the flip side of indoor golf (simulators), you can trust golf simulators to be pretty accurate. Many have a distance accuracy of approximately 95% or more. A handful of golf simulators will allow you to play with an actual ball, on the other hand, cheaper simulators will require a proprietary practice ball. This practice ball will not have the same results as a real ball and golf hitting mat outdoors, so bear that in mind.
IS SYNTHETIC GRASS COSTLY TO INSTALL?
It is tough to quote just how much an indoor golf area will cost to install, but you can usually plan on spending around $15 and $30+ per sq ft of turf installed. A few aspects which influence the cost are:
- Base materials

CAN SHORT GAME OR PUTTING COURSES BE INDOORS?
Absolutely! The biggest limitation are the dimensions of the area you want to install your short game or putting course indoors. With these, you will not have to worry about balls getting hit into the ceiling because there will simply be small touches on the ball for short game improvement. Golf entertainment is becoming a big market, so if you own the indoor space to provide putting courses, it can be very helpful to your property.
WHAT DOES INDOOR TURF INSTALLATION INVOLVE?
