Infill


1. Decide on the size and shape you want your backyard putting green to be.
2. Find a place with good drainage on your lawn where you would like to install your green.
3. Remove all debris from underneath where your putting turf will be laid.
4. Wet the dirt and compact it down until there are no indentations on the surface.
5. Add 2 inches of infill to the putting green area and compact it into place. Compact until footprints on the surface do not leave indentations. If the subsurface of the green is not at the desired level, add 2 more inches of compaction sand and repeat the process until the proper level is reached.
6. Install 2 to 3 cups in the base material by digging holes at least 2 inches wider than the cup and 6 inches deep. Set the cup in the middle and pour quick-drying concrete around the cup, leaving 1 inch of the cup exposed.




Putting Green Accessory Kit


7. Check to make sure your surface is still smooth and then spread sand over the base material with a drop spreader. Sweep sand across the base.
8. Lay out the turf on the compacted surface and fasten the sections of turf together with tape or glue. Make sure the grain of the turf runs in the same direction.
9. Trim the turf to fit the subsurface of the green.
10. Spread infill sand over the green using a drop spreader. Once the infill is spread, brush the green well so the infill is properly spread. Repeat process until green is completely full of infill. At this point, infill should be at the tips of the turf.
11. Sweep the infill off the green, going across the grain.
12. Locate cup holes under the turf and cut the turf around inside of the hole with a knife. Trim the edges with scissors.
13. Roll the green. The amount of rolling will determine the speed of your putting green.

"Outdoor Putting Greens"! Which Option Best Suits You?

When building a Backyard Putting Green, you will need to consider the size and shape of your landscape in order to determine the design best suited for your backyard putting green. A flat surface is best and so if your backyard has bumps or hills in it, you can either remove these or find an area that is more suitable.

Intheholegolf.com have a large selection of Indoor and Outdoor Putting Greens that come in a variety of shapes and sizes so you will be sure to find something here that will fit the contour of your lawn.

Another alternative is to purchase Synthetic Turf which has been especially designed for backyard putting greens. Amazon sell this artificial turf in kit set form along with step by step instructions on how to install it.

There are 3 different types of Artificial Putting Turf that you can buy through Amazon.

1. Nylon Synthetic Turf

2. Polypropylene Turf

3. Super Polypropylene Turf

Nylon Synthetic Turf

Nylon Synthetic Turf is much more denser than the Polypropylene Turf. It is an all purpose turf.
It gives you the best of both worlds, excellent shot receiving, and superb putting performance with no ball hop.
Also, by adding a small amount of 00 Masonary Sand fill to your putting green, you can increase the speed of your green to your liking. [This 00 sand is available at local masonary supply stores.]
Synthetic Nylon Turf does not require maintenance after it is installed.
Whether you choose a sand filled or non sand filled nylon turf, the surface of your green can be cleared of debris easily, by either blowing or sweeping the surface.


Synthetic Polypropylene Turf

All polypropylene turfs require some sand fill to perform well. There are a couple of reasons why you need sand fill in a polypropylene turf. The most important reason is because the fibers cannot stand upright on their own. Sand fill is also required to help prevent the fibers from becoming matted down.
Adding sand fill to a putting green will equate to periodic maintenance. Heavily sand filled greens will become hard over time, and will require a little more maintenance to provide good performance.

Super Polypropylene Putting Green Turf

Super Polypropylene or Super Poly is another very good Outdoor Putting Green turf. It has no grain so no ball hop!
It can be installed in many different environments.

Does not require masive amounts of sand in-fill to perform well. Super Polypropylene Putting Green Turf provides an excellent surface for receiving long approach shots & ball roll out.
Really you need to decide which is the best option suitable for your backyard. The easiest option is obviously to use a ready made product such as Tour Links as several of their outdoor putting greens can be used inside as well as outside.

If you are a capable of doing home handyman work, then you might enjoy the challenge of designing and installing your own backyard putting green. This way you can design it to exactly fit your contour and you are only really limited by the size of your backyard.

The advantages of having an Outdoor Putting Greens are :
