INSTALLING PROFESSIONAL PUTTING GREENS SINCE 2006
Make your friends green with envy by installing a synthetic putting green in your backyard! There’s no better way to improve your game than by being able to practice from the comfort of your own home. Synthetic putting greens have a natural look and give your ball a roll and bounce similar to that of a natural grass golf course. Yet, unlike a professional golf course, synthetic putting greens from Arizona Turf Masters have no divots, never need overseeding, require very minimal maintenance and water usage, allowing you to save a hefty amount of time and money.
Arizona Turf Masters is the Southwests premier putting green designer and installer. Our durable, high-quality artificial putting green turf is perfect for mini-golf, backyard putting greens, golf mats or driving ranges.
THE SPEED YOU NEED
We know how important speed is in a golf green. That’s why Arizona Turf Masters works closely with our clients to modify greens to fit their personal specifications. Want an approach shot that sticks on the green? How about that perfect undulation and dialed in stimp meter speed?

QUALITY YOU CAN FEEL
Our synthetic putting greens are made from two types of material: polypropylene and nylon. Polypropylene golf turf is designed to hold the shot from a distance and control speed to allow modification of your shot, and the nylon provides a very smooth roll, along with an appearance of a natural looking putting surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does an artificial green putt? Is it similar to a natural green?
Yes, we use the same contours and undulations found in natural greens. Also, synthetic greens will putt at the similar stimp speed as well cared for natural bent grass greens. This is the reason many Pros have opted for synthetic greens at their homes.
Can I chip or hit distance shots?
Yes, the ball will react like a natural green, although, some turfs are better than others for holding the ball. Since residential greens are much smaller than most commercial greens, your expectations should be realistic. We can add a putting pad to your green and it will help the ball “stick” with distance shots, however, it is difficult to hold a ball from 150 yards on a small backyard green.
How fast is the green? Are there different speeds?
Speeds can be varied based on several factors. Turf selection, infill material, undulations and other factors determine green speed. Traditionally speeds from 8-13 on the stimp meter can be achieved.
Can synthetic greens be installed indoors?
Yes, we have some turfs for putting with rubber backing. they require no sand fill making it an ideal product for indoor applications, such as, putt-putt, (these turfs are not typically used for chipping).
What can damage a synthetic green?
Since nylon and polypropylene are both synthetic, weather conditions rarely damage or adversely affect the green. It will, however, be affected by a burning match or a dropped cigarette or intense reflective glare from windows as the heat sources could melt the turf. as a precaution, harsh cleaners or detergents should not be used on the turf as a simple water rinse will do the trick. The sand and base layers of a green can be affected by excessive rain water run-off, ants, and in rare cases small rodents can tunnel under the green and damage it.
