Backyard Putting Green Accessories for Home Practice Areas

As avid golfers ourselves, we at FieldTurf Landscape know that a backyard putting green is more than just a patch of synthetic grass. It’s a personal golf oasis that can significantly improve your short game and the right accessories can transform your putting green from a basic practice area into a pro-level training ground.

The Foundation: High-Quality Putting Cups

The heart of any putting green is the cup. Here’s what to look for:

• Regulation Size: 4.25 inches in diameter for authentic practice.
• Durable Materials: We use high-grade plastic or metal cups that withstand years of use.
• Adjustable Depth: This feature allows you to vary the challenge level.
• Visibility: Bright white cups make it easier to visualize your target.

Pro Tip: We can install multiple cups at different locations on your green. This setup allows for diverse practice scenarios and keeps your routine fresh and challenging.

Flagsticks: More Than Just Decoration

Flagsticks aren’t just for show – they serve crucial functions:

• Improved Aim: They provide a vertical reference point for alignment.
• Distance Perception: Flagsticks help you gauge distances more accurately.
• Authentic Feel: They bring that real course atmosphere to your backyard.

We recommend fiberglass or aluminum flagsticks for durability. While regulation height is 7 feet, we can customize shorter versions to suit your backyard aesthetics.

Practice Aids: Sharpen Your Skills

To truly elevate your game, consider these training accessories:

• Putting Gates: These narrow targets force you to perfect your aim and stroke path.
• Ball Returns: Save time and energy during solo practice sessions.
• Alignment Sticks: Essential for perfecting your setup and stroke alignment.

We can integrate many of these features directly into your green’s design for a seamless practice experience.

Lighting: Extend Your Practice Hours

Don’t let daylight limit your putting time. We can often incorporate lighting solutions such as:

• Low-Voltage LED Path Lights: Around the green’s perimeter
• Spotlights: For focused illumination on specific areas
• Solar-Powered Options: For energy efficiency

Our team can design a lighting plan that complements your landscaping while providing optimal visibility for evening practice sessions.

Comfort and Aesthetics: Creating the Perfect Ambiance

A comfortable environment encourages longer, more productive practice sessions. Consider:

• Weather-Resistant Seating: We can suggest and install durable benches or chairs that match your outdoor decor.
• Shade Solutions: Umbrellas or shade sails not only protect from sun but can add a stylish touch to your green.
• Refreshment Stations: Small side tables or built-in coolers keep drinks and snacks within reach.

Maintenance Tools: Keeping Your Green in Top Shape

While our artificial turf is low-maintenance, a few tools will help you keep it in pristine condition.

• Soft-Bristle Brooms: For regular sweeping.
• Leaf Blowers: For quick debris removal.
• Specialized Turf Rakes: To maintain an even surface.

We provide detailed care instructions with every installation and are always available for maintenance advice.

Customization: Make Your Green Unique

Personalize your putting green to reflect your style.

• Custom-Colored Turf: To match your landscaping or infuse your putting green with personality.
• Branded Flags: With your initials or favorite golf course logos.
• Unique Obstacles: Like sand traps, slopes, or water hazards.

Our design team loves working with clients to create one-of-a-kind putting green experiences.
