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'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.

Nice. I've got to get one. What do you do for drainage

If you chip onto the green is it soft enough or will it bounce hard.

Thanks for the video, but you really didn't show any "How to...."

What is the sand used that goes on the putting grass?

What actual turf product did you use for the green? Are you happy with the roll?

How did you make the holes?

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 😀

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.

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
