Q: Is there an average size putting green?

A: Not really. Each putting green is designed in proportion to the site, though the majority of putting green projects are between 600sq' - 1,800sq' with a sand-trap.

Q: Are there limitations to the undulations I can have in the putting green surface?

A: No, the PGl Putting Turf will "mirror" whatever undulations we create in the base. Actually, it's the size of the putting green that will dictate the degree of contour we advise.

Q. How many cups can I have in the putting green and can I move them?

A: Even the smaller putting greens will accommodate three cup locations and the larger the putting green, more may be added. These locations are permanent.

Q: How long does it take to build a putting green?

A: Construction can take as little as three days for a small putting green, but most projects take one week to complete.

Q: Do I have to cover my putting green in the winter?

A: No, unlike a natural green, you may enjoy your green year-round.

Q: Do you sell "putting green kits" to do-it-yourself-ers?

A . No. We are a professional design and build company of residential synthetic bent-grass putting greens. We consider it irresponsible to profit selling PGI putting turf to individuals, telling them they can expect excellent results having never constructed one putting green!

Q: Is putting on the PGI Putting Surface similar to putting on a natural putting green and at what "stimp" (speed) does the ball roll?

A: The PGI putting turf is absolutely the best putting surface available. This turf consists of a tight, twisted knitted nylon fiber that has the look and feel of bent-grass. The putting greens "stimp" at a 10 1/2 and will not vary over time.

Q: If I hit balls to the putting green, will I damage the putting surface?

A: No, the impact of thousands of balls hitting the putting green will not distort the nylon fiber or have any effect on the way the putting green looks or putts.

Q: Are synthetic putting surfaces all the same?

A: There are two basic types of turf used for putting green construction, nylon turf and sand-filled polypropylene turf.

Q: What is sand-filled polypropylene turf ?

A: We have constructed many Target Greens for driving ranges utilizing polypropylene sand-filled turf. This is the intended use of this type of Turf. But, sand eventually displaces from the turf fiber due to rain and use, causing the turf to flatten and become very fast. This requires the putting green to be regularly brushed full of sand to keep the fiber vertical and rolled frequently to smooth the surface. Though sand-filled putting greens are less expensive and tend to hold shots well, they are high maintenance, poor quality putting greens.

Q: Why is PGI Nylon Putting Turf considered the best?

A: The only turf Personal Putting Greens will use for residential putting greens is PGI Nylon Putting Turf. This turf needs no sand filler to hold the turf fibers vertical and will not mat-down over time. Putts will hold a true line to the cup, even as the ball slows down approaching the hole. For quality, durability and low maintenance, we consider the PGI nylon putting surface the best available. In addition, we value PGI's professional commitment to offer this proprietary Putting Turf only through qualified and authorized dealers.
