Putting Green Turf Built to Play True

A putting green is only as good as the ground under it. At Core Landscape, we build the base first: compacted decomposed granite, real drainage, precise grading. The turf on top rolls true for years instead of months.

Custom installations starting around $10.50 per sq ft

What Your Putting Green Includes

Every install starts with the same base-first process, whatever’s on top of it:

Custom Hole Layout

Every green is shaped and holed to your yard, not a stock template. Two holes or six, your call.

Built-In Drainage & Base

Compacted decomposed granite base with proper slope, so water moves off the green instead of pooling under it.

Real-Speed Turf

Turf selected for consistent ball roll, not just green color.

Bunkers & Water Features on Request

Sand bunkers, boulder work, and water features built into the green, not bolted onto it after.

Why the Base Matters More Than the Turf

Anyone can staple turf to dirt. What decides whether your green plays the same in year five as it did on day one is what’s underneath it: the compaction, the drainage, the grade. We build that first.

What that gets you:

  • Consistent ball roll that doesn’t develop dips or high spots
  • Proper drainage so the green doesn’t hold water after monsoon season
  • A base built for Arizona heat and soil, not a one-size playbook
  • Turf infill and layout matched to how you’ll actually use the green

Putting Green FAQ

How much does a putting green turf installation cost?

Most residential installs start around $10.50 per sq ft, though the final number depends on size, hole count, and extras like bunkers or water features. We’ll give you an exact quote after a walkthrough.

How long does putting green turf last?

With a properly built base and quality turf, most installs perform well past the 15-year warranty mark. The base matters more than the turf brand. A great turf on a bad base fails faster than a modest turf on a good one.

Do I need a big yard for a putting green?

No. We’ve built greens as small as a single hole and as large as multi-hole layouts with bunkers and water features. The design fits your space, not the other way around.

Will it stay cool enough to use in the Arizona summer?

Putting green turf runs warmer than natural grass in direct sun, same as any synthetic surface. Shade placement and turf color selection both help. We’ll walk through options for your specific yard.

How much water does a putting green turf install save?

Zero irrigation once installed, versus a natural putting green that needs daily watering and constant mowing to hold a playable surface. That’s the tradeoff most homeowners are actually solving for.

Can you add bunkers or water features to an existing green?

In most cases, yes, though it depends on the current base and layout. Worth a walk-through before we say for sure either way.

What areas do you install putting greens in?

Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Scottsdale, Queen Creek, and the greater Phoenix area.
