Whether you are trying to build a whole indoor golf facility in Fresno or you’re just going to install a small putting area in your home’s basement for practice, synthetic turf is what you are looking for. Keep reading to find out more regarding artificial turf for indoor golf.
WHY ARTIFICIAL TURF FOR INDOORS?
An indoor golf green will not simply beautify the appearance of your area, but will also let you practice your golf game any time of the year. Synthetic turf is an ideal solution for golf simulators, short game putting areas, and a lot more. Artificial grass for indoor golf is:
- Simple to maintain
- Cost-effective
- Very customizable
- Increases property value
HOW ACCURATE IS INDOOR GOLF?
This will largely depend on the quality of the turf chosen for your indoor golf area. Cheaper products will cause the ball to roll oddly, and unlevel surfaces will make putting difficult. Bunker areas have to be built with careful attention for indoor uses. You can know more details about our indoor putting greens here.
On the opposite side of indoor golf (simulators), you can count on golf simulators to be pretty precise. The majority include a distance accuracy of nearly 95% or better. Some golf simulators will allow you to play with a real ball, whereas cheaper simulators will have a proprietary practice ball. This practice ball won’t have similar outcomes as an actual ball and golf hitting mat outside, so keep that in mind.
IS ARTIFICIAL TURF COSTLY TO INSTALL?
It is hard to determine precisely how much an indoor golf area will cost to install, but you can typically plan to spend between $15 and $30+ per sq ft of grass installed. The elements that impact the cost are:
- Base materials
- Dimensions
- Design
- Site access/prep
- Golf features

CAN SHORT GAME OR PUTTING COURSES BE INDOORS?
Definitely! The primary limitation are the dimensions of the space you want to install a short game or putting course indoors. With these, you won’t have to worry about balls shooting into the ceiling since there will only be small touches on the ball for short game practice. Golf entertainment is turning into a huge market, so if you own the indoor space to offer putting courses, it can be extremely beneficial to your property.
WHAT DOES INDOOR TURF INSTALLATION INVOLVE?
Indoor artificial turf installation can be quite simple because there is no reason for excavating or leveling the ground first. A typical indoor golf grass installation will have the following steps:
- The surface cleaned, and any debris removed, and any cracks filled up and sealed
- Installation of materials used to produce undulating surfaces like bunkers
- Lay and secure a shock pad to create a soft and safe surface
- Install synthetic grass and fasten edges

It features a 5,000 square foot putting surface, two TrackMan swing analytic systems, and four hitting bays outside.
