I wish you would have shown the seeming step and cutting in the cups that would have been helpful for a dyi-er, I’m putting in all the turf myself for a large putting green and it’s costing me around $2500.
I bought a 6x18foot green indoor outdoor carpet I have a cup that rebounds the ball Ican move it where ever I want I put it on cement or driveway and putt away roll it up when Im done or mow the grass short put styrofoam on bottom of carpet and chip on it roll it up when Im done
i'm surprised they didn't put down a weed barrier before installing the green. In my opinion if i was spending hard earned money for the green i would have made sure a weed barrier was placed. The green looks awesome though. Just my opinion.
I think ppl, like me, expected a grass putting green. It should have said, getting an artificial putting green installed at home in 2 days... I live in Oz and artifical grass can get too hot to walk on bare foot.
Luckily I haven't had any problems with that yet, however you do need to get a large roller and roll the green out every so often...I would call the company you had install it to see if they can swing by and roll it out, this would be solution I think
Hey Will, it really does roll like a real green, you can control the speed by adding more sand and compacting it, so you can honestly set the green speed to however fast you want it, of course you can't take out sand, so want to increase slightly. I've been able to take the feel from this green and bring it directly to the course with great results 😀
Will, I have an actual bentgrass green at my house. I have 2 acres so I can hit into it from about 80 yards. It is way more work than you can imagine! It’s also constant expense. I will add also that it is still not as good as the one at my golf course because I just don’t have the time needed to properly maintain it. I would go artificial for sure!
Looks great! just wondering what’s the maintenance like for something like this? do you have to mow the lawn? what about when there is a lot of rain, how well does it absorb water?
I’ve been thinking about installing a putting green at home too. I’ll definitely contact Perfect Turf to get a quote. Would love to connect to see an example firsthand?
What did you pay for this install? I'm considering a 1000ft green in my backyard and I'm looking for ballpark estimates on what I'll need to save up. Thanks!
You can see in the video when I pull up the grass and show what's underneath, it is actually very thin....I would say just 1/4" in length on the green....the rough is about 1.5" in length 😀
I love that no mowing or watering. Maintenance free! That said, good putting requires adaptability. Slow greens, fast greens, longer greens, just mowed greens, just watered greens. Etc, etc. The only way you get that is with natural turf, not synthetic matts. But Mazeltov and enjoy in good health.
You may have mentioned in your video but what is the square footage of the actual putting surface? I’m getting one installed 5/11 so curious how big it will actually be. Mine will be 575 +\- sq ft of putting surface. Thanks ahead of time, yours looks awesome can’t wAit for mine. Tour greens is building mine.
Thank you brother! I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I am greatly looking forward to it, plus my two sons can grow up learning to play in their backyard! We are very blessed to have this opportunity. Thanks again! Take care!
My buddy had a private 9 hole private course but the novelty wears off after a while. Golf is most enjoyable when play on untested and new courses. Maybe it's just me.
Wow 9 Hole private course? that's amazing! I agree....golf is definitely best enjoyed when playing new courses, I don't think I would ever want my own private course....I'd rather join a nice private club and let them worry about maintenance and upkeep....backyard putting green has been fun though, less time on maintenance, looks good 365 days a year, and also a good spot for our kids to play around, thanks for the comment and watching the video!
haha I wish it was that easy! taking care of a real golf green requires a huge skill set, time, and money....plus complete different type of grass, this was definitely the cheaper and easier solution 😄
For sure....there are a lot of steps...the gravel was simply bought from a store...so you don't need to crush it yourself and you need a compactor to compact it tightly into the ground...I have some other turfgrass videos on my separate golf channel, check it out here: czcams.com/video/hJ-fWfmeKk0/video.html
It's about 10ft x 30ft I would say....perfect enough for a some mid range putts, but more important have enough hole locations for uphill, downhill, left to right, and right to left :)
Cyrus, are you saying that this cost you about $3000 ( in other post you stated that 1000 sq ft. will cost about $10,000 or about $10 sq ft so 10 x 30 = 300 sq ft at $10 per sq ft = $3,000)? And is that in U.S. or Canada money? ( $10,000 in US is right at 14,000 in Canada and 10,000 is $7,150 in U.S.) Just So you know, I have wanted to put in a putting green since I had back surgery more than 15 years ago. Played my whole life until I hurt my back The day after my best round ever. The two reasons I have not are "real golf green feel" was lacking and cost. If the cost is about $10 a sq ft U.S., that no longer is a problem...but when you play your home course, does your practice on the artificial green help you, that is, does the feel of your home green have the same feel as the greens of your local club course? And if it does not (i.e. in the past the artificial grass was too slow) can you add sand and pack it and change the feel and speed of the artificial to match the "real"? thank you for posting your build. I believe that it is not an exaggeration to say this could change my life.
@@dalewier9735 Hey Dale! Thanks for the comment...sorry for any confusion on the pricing/size of the green. The 10'x30' is just the size of the green, not including the rough area and two chippings bays (2 small round circles to hit chips from)...all in this was around $13,500 CAD. That's why I mentioned the 10k figure before. I'm sorry to hear about your back injury, but the day after your best round? wow, at least you have that great score to remember. To be honest the putting green has translated to great results on the real golf course as well. I mainly use it to practice putts within 10ft of the hole, so it really increased my make % from this distance, which of course leads to lower scores. Yes, you can add sand, compact it, and increase speed to make it faster. I would say it's one of the best investments we've made. Our kids love to run around on it. Our backyard looks amazing every day and saves me maintenance time, and it will last for 15 years. I have no regrets on this purchase!
Cyrus, immediately after watching your video yesterday, I went to the back yard with a purpose other than to mow it! If I "draft" the men in the church to help maybe I can have myself a putting green. Cy, I first played in 1968 at 7 years old and have played until the surgery. My wife told me the surgery was about 9 years ago not 15. But truley, the day before Thanksgiving 2011, I shot 71 on a local course (Crown Colony Lufkin, Texas- from the black tees. Course was rated top 10 best courses in Texas then.) THE NEXT DAY, I was helping a church member move and I blew disks out (L-5,L-6,) can't follow thru like I could. I had been practicing 40 to 75 yard wedges, 1000 to 1200 a week in my front yard and it had really helped. I must again play golf somehow, even if it is just putting and chipping. This home green setup is the very thing that will get me back in the game. Even my wife is for it because it will keep me from building and flying experimental aircraft! ( I am sure anything is preferable to her). I will make a point to send you pictures when I start this project. Thanks again and God bless
@@dalewier9735 What a story! God bless you too Dale, please do send me some pictures and I look forward to seeing your putting green, I know it will bring a tremendous amount of joy in your life! Stay safe for the meantime with your family as God leads us through these crazy times! Blessings!
haha trust me the natural way is incredibly more expensive and much more time consuming....also my backyard is in shade 75% of the day which makes growing grass very very difficult....this is by far the most cost effective and efficient method for a putting green
Retail price for this would be around $10,000 USD for everything! 9 months later...and I can honestly say it's worth every penny, saved me tremendous time taking care of the backyard, and also so enjoyable for the entire family....plus my putting is better than it's ever been before! Win-win-win situation 😀
@@leesimon85 no need for maintenance...they only thing I do is blow leaves off in the fall season....when it rains, water just goes through, never any puddles.....in a couple seasons I can probably add some sand on top and roll the green to compact it, but it's been 10 months now since the install, looks and feels just like the day we had it installed....that's one of the best things about this green, has completely eliminated my need to take care of backyard 👍
Interesting in a putting green? Check out my video Top 5 Reasons to Install a Putting Green: czcams.com/video/YhxRHgT4Sm4/video.html
Wow. Thanks for leaving out the most important step......making the holes!!!
I wish you would have shown the seeming step and cutting in the cups that would have been helpful for a
dyi-er, I’m putting in all the turf myself for a large putting green and it’s costing me around $2500.
Watching them rip up that perfect lush grass was painful lol. But otherwise I loved the video! Looking to do a green in my side yard.
Awesome! You will enjoy it so much
looks pretty cool to me as a retired Contractor it looks like the guys you hired did a very professional job
Hey Craig! Yes the team I hired were awesome, they did an amazing job
I bought a 6x18foot green indoor outdoor carpet I have a cup that rebounds the ball Ican move it where ever I want I put it on cement or driveway and putt away roll it up when Im done or mow the grass short put styrofoam on bottom of carpet and chip on it roll it up when Im done
Awesome! Whatever works, just keep that short game sharp 👍
i'm surprised they didn't put down a weed barrier before installing the green. In my opinion if i was spending hard earned money for the green i would have made sure a weed barrier was placed. The green looks awesome though. Just my opinion.
Love the back yard. Happy golf ⛳ 😀
Thanks 👍
Dude, you have a golf voice! You should get a job being a golf broadcaster.
Now that's the comment I want to hear! haha that would be my dream job!
I said the exact same thing in the opening! Wow he was better than the ones on tv sounded familiar almost.
how does this great video have so many dislikes !?!
I think ppl, like me, expected a grass putting green. It should have said, getting an artificial putting green installed at home in 2 days...
I live in Oz and artifical grass can get too hot to walk on bare foot.
So paying someone else was the how to… got it 👍
How much did this cost?
About $8k
How do you get rid of "bubbles/winkles/creases" in the middle of the green? Tried everything.
Luckily I haven't had any problems with that yet, however you do need to get a large roller and roll the green out every so often...I would call the company you had install it to see if they can swing by and roll it out, this would be solution I think
They didn’t add enough infill!
How is this on a freeze/thaw cycle as well as possibly very active dogs?
Thanks for the video, but you really didn't show any "How to...."
What actual turf product did you use for the green? Are you happy with the roll?
I see you said it would be about 10.000 dollars I don’t have sod and I have regular grass. Also do they do a bit smaller putting greens
Yes the can certainly do smaller and work with different type of budgets
does it actually roll just like a real grass green though?
im in the long process of putting one in my backyard but out of actual couch.
Hey Will, it really does roll like a real green, you can control the speed by adding more sand and compacting it, so you can honestly set the green speed to however fast you want it, of course you can't take out sand, so want to increase slightly. I've been able to take the feel from this green and bring it directly to the course with great results 😀
@@CyrusJanssen Cool! I might look into doing this instead of waiting for couch to grow then trying to mow it down.
@@willhull7842 You won't regret the purchase!

Where do you buy artificial putting greens?
Awesome video. We are producing a backyard course and green on our channel! This helps a lot!
Sweet! Good luck with the project 👏
Looks great!
just wondering what’s the maintenance like for something like this? do you have to mow the lawn? what about when there is a lot of rain, how well does it absorb water?
Maintenance is fantastic! I made another video discussing everything: czcams.com/video/YhxRHgT4Sm4/video.html
How thick of base (top gravel)do you put down? Do you put anything else on the top grave to get it more eve and smooth?
Base is about 6 inches deep and needs to be compacted with a heavy duty compactor 👍
Yes add sand
I’ve been thinking about installing a putting green at home too. I’ll definitely contact Perfect Turf to get a quote. Would love to connect to see an example firsthand?
Awesome! Ask for Brad and tell him you saw the CZcams video, they did an amazing job
That’s a nice layowooot yous got ohver there!! I’m jealous!!!
If you chip onto the green is it soft enough or will it bounce hard.
What did you pay for this install? I'm considering a 1000ft green in my backyard and I'm looking for ballpark estimates on what I'll need to save up. Thanks!
Hey Greg, sorry for the late reply, I would say ballpark around $10k for a professional install like this one
@@CyrusJanssen I read 10k right? Right?
@@ludwig0365 yes check pinned comment for more info
How much
How much is something like this to do. Ballpark?
How tall are the putting green gras?
You can see in the video when I pull up the grass and show what's underneath, it is actually very thin....I would say just 1/4" in length on the green....the rough is about 1.5" in length 😀
Cyrus Janssen actually probably 1/8 or if you want fast like masters greens 1/16 or if you want country club kind of greens, probably 3/16
Looks so good from that top view in the opening wow.
How they did the wholes?
Nice. I've got to get one. What do you do for drainage
How did they cut the cups
Sprenkle yard/lawn with coffee grounds once a year. Turns dirt green.
what was the base material?
What is the sand used that goes on the putting grass?
What happens if it snows
where they sell the 16 foot wide rolls?
This video isnt a how to.

How much fall do you have on the turf
Sorry what does "fall" mean?
Cyrus, I thought you live in China. Are you living in Vancouver for good?
I'm based in Vancouver now...however still do work in China and travel back for business (except this year of course!)
i had my backyard done the similar at my house too, even get government rebate due to the water saving for the natural law.
