As do Phil Mickelson, Scott Simpson, and countless other Tour pros. But they require a lot more space. Golf has grown so much more than tennis the past few years that private putting green installations will continue to explode. There also are many different kinds available. But first, you and a designer draw a plan for the size and shape.
Any grass is removed from within the lines.
The turf, padded underneath with a thick urethane, is rolled out like carpet and cut to size. It's heavy and will not move once laid out. Then cups are cut to your liking, although manufacturers warn against overcrowding the green with too many holes. Off the shelf, artificial greens usually roll about 10 on the Stimpmeter. The greens we looked at came with a minimum 10-year warranty that covers fading and durability.
