Pin Seeker is our polypropylene sand-filled green that allows for both putting and longer approach shots. Like any sand-filled green, the sand may condense and harden over time, which ends up speeding up the surface and altering playing ability.
Before resorting to refilling your green, there are steps you can take to restore it. If the sand begins to pack down very hard, it is good to use a tool with spikes (like a Garden Weasel) and roll over the green to keep the sand from packing too tight. Wet the green first, then run the tool over the green. Follow that by going over the green with a broom, then roll it with a weighted roller. Download the GolfGreens maintenance guide for more information.
The timeframe for when you can expect to need your green refilled depends largely on usage. Greens that are used very frequently may need refilled while greens used occasionally for entertainment may not.
