Backyard Putting Greens

Practice Your Golf Game at Home

Imagine stepping into your backyard and practicing your putting stroke anytime you want. No driving to the golf course, no waiting for tee times, no paying green fees. A custom putting green in your Santa Cruz yard gives you unlimited practice opportunities and adds serious value to your property.

We design and install professional-grade putting greens using the same turf products found at country clubs. Your backyard green can feature multiple holes, undulating slopes, sand traps, and fringe areas. Whether you want a simple 10-foot practice area or an elaborate multi-hole course, we build putting greens that match your space and skill level.

Santa Cruz golfers love having backyard putting greens because California weather lets you practice year-round. Morning putting sessions become part of your daily routine, and your short game improves dramatically when you can practice every day.

Custom Putting Green Design and Installation

Every putting green we install is completely custom. We start by measuring your available space and discussing your goals. Do you want to practice short putts, work on reading breaks, or create a challenging course? We design the green around your preferences.

The installation process involves precise grading to create natural-looking contours and slopes. We can add elevation changes, multiple cups at different distances, and even integrate sand bunkers or chipping areas. The base preparation is critical for proper ball roll, so we take our time to get the foundation perfect.

We use specialized putting green turf with a shorter pile height that allows golf balls to roll true. The cup installations are professional-grade, and we can include flag sticks that add to the authentic look. Fringe areas around the green use different turf to create visual contrast and practice opportunities for chip shots.

Want to combine your putting green with other landscaping upgrades? We often install putting greens as part of larger backyard transformations that include seating areas and pathways.
