Golf Putting Greens & Turf

Synthetic putting green turf is a high-performance artificial grass system specifically engineered to replicate the look, feel, and playability of a natural golf green. Unlike standard landscaping turf, it features a shorter, denser pile height and precision-rolled surface that delivers a true, consistent ball roll - essential for practising realistic putts and chips.

An artificial putting green delivers a smooth, consistent surface year-round - without the mowing, watering, or fertilising that natural grass demands. There’s no need to fight weeds, uneven patches, or seasonal changes; your green stays perfectly playable in all conditions.

You can install a small backyard putting green yourself, but achieving true performance and smooth ball roll usually requires professional installation. The base preparation — including drainage, levelling, contours, and seams - directly impacts how the turf plays and lasts. SYNLawn’s certified installers ensure your green is perfectly graded, evenly infilled, and expertly finished for tour-quality performance. For larger areas or custom designs with undulations, fringe turf, or bunkers, professional installation is the best way to guarantee a flawless, long-lasting result.

High-quality synthetic putting green turf is built for durability and consistent performance, even with regular play. With proper care and maintenance, most installations should last many years. Premium putting surfaces may include warranties of up to 10 years, reflecting their quality construction, UV stability, and resistance to wear.

Like most outdoor surfaces, synthetic putting green turf can warm up under direct sunlight, especially during very hot weather. However, modern turfs that are made with heat-reducing technology, like SYNLawn’s COOLplus®, reflects more sunlight and helps minimise heat build-up. On very hot days, a quick mist with the hose can also cool the surface instantly.

Yes - synthetic putting green turf is designed to be non-toxic, lead-free, and family-friendly. Kids can play on it, pets can run on it, and the surface won’t turn to mud or develop bare patches.

Maintenance is minimal. Most homeowners only need to: ● brush the turf occasionally to keep fibres upright ● blow or sweep away leaves and debris ● rinse the surface if dust builds up ● check infill levels over time It’s far easier than maintaining a natural green, and these small steps help keep your artificial putting green smooth, fast and consistent.
