What Is the Best Outdoor Putting Green Surface?

When you close your eyes, you can see it clearly… The ball gently rolling into the hole, the crowd going wild, Tiger Woods giving you a fist bump; that prestigious green jacket is officially yours!

But when you open your eyes, you’re still looking at the impossible: A twenty-foot putt with plenty of bumps, divots, and debris clogging your path to perfection…

Thankfully, you can take comfort in knowing that regardless of whether you sink this putt or not, every putt is practice, and practices, well… Makes perfect!

When you practice your putting, your golf ball should roll smoothly across the green, as any imperfections can cause your putt to go awry. So when you’re building an outdoor putting green in your backyard, you have to choose the right putting green surface. After all, your practice should emulate the greens you play on at the golf course.

C&C Courts offer the best in outdoor putting green surfaces for you to perfect your short game. Let’s take a look at what makes a good putting green.

Putting Green Factors to Consider

A good, artificial putting green should allow the golfer to have a realistic and enjoyable experience. There are several important aspects to consider when choosing a putting green surface material:

• Speed and Consistency: A good putting green should offer consistent ball speed across the entire surface. With the right putting green surface, your ball should roll just as expected.

• Durability and Weather Resistance: Your artificial putting green should withstand different weather conditions, like rain, wind, snow, and UV exposure.

• Drainage: To avoid water buildup on your green, it should have proper drainage to keep the water flowing.

If you are serious about your home putting green, these factors should play a role in your final decision.

4 Outdoor Putting Green Surfaces From C&C Courts

C&C Courts offer some of the best putting green surfaces for home putting greens. Our surfaces come with Natural Break Technology, which allows the ball to roll naturally. The fibers help suspend the ball like natural turf for optimal speed and ball roll.

We carry four types of putting green surfaces for you to choose from.

1. Par Turf

Par Turf is our most recreational putting green experience. If you’re a newer golfer looking to improve your short game, Par Turf would be perfect for you. This turf features a thick weave and foam pad, offering a real grass feel. It also offers lasting durability and performance.

2. Birdie Turf

Birdie Turf is the next step up from Par Turf. This turf has more emphasis on ball control. The fibers on Birdie Turf influence ball roll and break. Birdie Turf comes with 48 ounces of tufted nylon per square yard, which makes it one of the most resilient, long-lasting putting greens for your backyard.

3. Eagle Turf

Eagle Turf is our premium putting green surface and one of the best on the market. It offers the thickest weave of nylon per square yard. It also has a natural green color that will help it blend into the aesthetics of your backyard. Eagle Turf’s density of fibers allows for a more consistent ball roll, much like that of a country club golf course.

4. Fringe

Perfecting a chip shot is never easy, which is why we carry Fringe. This putting green surface can surround your green and allow you to expand your short game and practice your chip shots. Fringe is made up of tufted nylon and reinforced roof-zone, meaning the artificial blades of green will stand up to continuous use without impacting its natural appearance.
