As golfers in Santa Rosa, we’re lucky to have year-round playing weather. But between work, family, and those infamous Wine Country traffic jams, getting to the course isn’t always easy. That’s where a backyard putting green becomes your secret weapon for consistent improvement.
Why Your Backyard Needs a Putting Green
1. Practice When It Suits You: No more rushing to squeeze in putting practice before the sun sets. With a backyard green, you can roll putts in your pajamas before work or unwind with a nightcap and some chips.
2. Save Time and Gas: We love Sonoma County’s golf courses, but the drive time adds up. A backyard green means more practice and less time behind the wheel.
3. Customized Challenges: Design your green with the exact breaks and speeds you struggle with on your favorite local courses. Trouble with those sneaky left-to-right breakers at Foxtail? We can build that into your backyard setup.
4. Entertain in Style: Backyard BBQs just got a lot more interesting. Challenge your friends to putting contests while the tri-tip sizzles.
5. Boost Property Value: In our competitive real estate market, a well-designed putting green can be a standout feature for potential buyers. Even non-golfers appreciate the aesthetic.
The Santa Rosa Advantage for Putting Greens
Our unique climate is perfect for backyard putting greens:
Mild Winters: Unlike other parts of the country, you can use your green year-round.
Drought-Resistant: With water conservation always on our minds, artificial turf is a smart choice.
Low Maintenance: No more battling our clay-heavy soil or dealing with seasonal transitions.
Beyond Just Putting
A backyard green isn’t limited to straight putts.
Chipping Areas: We can incorporate fringe and rough areas for short game variety.
Multiple Hole Locations: Change up your practice routine by having several cup positions.
Contours and Mounds: Mimic the undulations you face on real greens for better preparation.
The Professional Installation Difference
While DIY might be tempting, here’s why trusting pros matters:
1. Drainage Expertise: We understand Santa Rosa’s microclimates and know how to ensure your green stays playable even after those big winter storms.
2. Turf Selection: Not all artificial grass is created equal. We use putting-specific materials that roll true and maintain consistent speed.
3. Subbase Precision: The key to a great putting green is what’s underneath. Our installation process creates a stable, level foundation that will last for years.
4. Local Knowledge: We’ve installed greens all over Sonoma County and know how to work with various property layouts and soil types.
