Large Scale Putting Courses

Synthetic Grass Putting Courses for Resorts, Apartment Complexes and Retirement Communities

Someone who is well versed in the game of golf and its trends would know that large scale putting courses, like “The Himalayas” at St. Andrews in Scotland, or “The Punchbowl” at Bandon Dunes in Oregon have risen in popularity for several reasons; the biggest being that they are an absolute blast to play.

For the resort owners, these putting courses are a way to get the guests to drink a few more drinks, laugh a few more laughs and enjoy the overall experience that much more, setting the hook for a repeat visit and positive reviews online.

Unfortunately, many resorts and high-end facilities do not have a seasoned grounds crew on staff with the knowledge or skills to maintain a putting green of this scale, so even though these amenities are amazingly popular, they can only be found at resorts with adjacent golf courses.

ROI Sport Surfaces and Amenities plans to change that as we combine our knowledge of the game of golf with our skills working with synthetic grass to deliver a guest/resident/customer experience that is otherwise impossible to create.

Outdoor Putting Green Installation for Hotels, Resorts, & Communities

Large practice putting greens are becoming a highly popular amenity for hotels, resorts, retirement communities, and HOAs around the country. Putting is a superb activity for people of all ages. It offers safe, low-stakes fun for the entire family. Recreational spaces foster a sense of community among hotels/resorts and living communities. They simply brighten people’s surroundings. None of your guests will miss home as much when they’re outside interacting with others and having fun.

In addition, synthetic putting greens require almost no maintenance, which makes them highly appealing to resort and community maintenance workers. No need for mowing, watering, treating for pesticides, or fertilization. You’ll also have a green that’s lush all year long and that patrons can enjoy no matter what the season.

ROI Sport Surfaces and Amenities offers several high-quality synthetic turfs to match your needs and budget.

Backyard Putting Green Installation for Residences

Save yourself the trouble of driving to the club or driving range to practice your short game. Install your very own backyard putting green! Imagine being able to go out and practice any time you want. No more lugging your golf equipment to the club or wasting precious time. Best of all, artificial putting green turf closely mimics the real thing without requiring the same level of maintenance.

Playing golf has many health benefits. Taking those daily swings increases your blood flow, lowers your blood pressure, and improves your cardiovascular health. All this exercise decreases your risk for stroke, heart failure, and coronary heart disease.

You will also sharpen your concentration and analytical skills by regularly playing golf. Golf can help you develop hand-eye coordination and strategic motor skills as well.

In addition to the incredible physical health benefits, golf has social health benefits, too. There’s nothing better than hanging out with family and friends having a good time. Golf brings people together, and so can you. Encourage your friends and family to play with you the next time you head outside for some rounds!

The Top Benefits of Using Artificial Grass for Golf Courses

Check out some of the excellent benefits of using artificial grass for your recreational amenities. You’ll never go back once you experience the finest-quality artificial turf.

Never Deal with Lawn Diseases Again

Lawn diseases, such as Rhizoctonia, cause homeowners and facilities managers a lot of grief. An infected greenspace requires time, money, and patience from those treating it. Rhizoctonia is just one of many types of fungus your greenspace may harbor. The types that you find in your grass depend on your area and how you maintain your grass.

You can’t simply mow the grass and water it to keep funguses at bay. The mow height, amount of water given, and amount you feed your grass determine if your greenspace becomes diseased. If you notice a brown patch in your greenspace, it may have already contracted a disease. In this case, you would need to apply fungicides to get rid of it.

With artificial grass, you don’t have to hassle with fungicidal treatments, leaving one less item off your to-do list.

No More Weeds and Pests

Pests are called pests for a reason. They, along with fast-growing weeds, will wreak havoc on a natural lawn. When weeds are allowed to proliferate, they can smother your actual turf. And we all know the damage that pests can do to your greenspace. They will actually eat it or tear it up by digging holes.

With artificial turf, you can stop worrying about weeds cropping up. That’s because artificial grass uses a weed-proof foundation. It also lacks soil, which weeds need to grow.

The fact that it’s artificial also deters pests. They want real grass to munch on, not polyethylene material, which is what faux grass is typically made of. The soil that’s found in real grass attracts pests such as grubs. These insects in turn attract other insects, as well as larger pests that feed upon them such as snakes and raccoons. Artificial grass lacks the dirt that weeds and pests need to thrive in. That’s one less (big) problem you have to deal with.

No Need for Pesticides

Another virtue of artificial grass is that it doesn’t require pesticides.

Faux grass doesn’t attract pests that ruin your greenspace. After all, they can’t eat the grass or burrow into nonexistent soil. Estimate how much you spend every year on professional or DIY pesticide treatment. Now think about how much you’ll save by not having to purchase pesticide treatment.

No More Fertilizer

Let’s face a difficult truth. Anything that’s alive usually requires some (or a lot of) maintenance. Real grass requires a substantial amount of upkeep in the form of mowing, watering, treating for pests and funguses, and fertilizing. Artificial grass gives you a greenspace that will remain lush with no fertilization required.

Calculate how much it costs you to fertilize your greenspace every year. It’s a lot, right? By paying a one-time installation fee for an artificial putting green, you’ll cut many costs, fertilization included, year after year.

No Messy Mud or Puddles

Depending on your residential or commercial property’s location, your beautiful greenspace can frequently deteriorate into a yucky mud puddle. Even if you’re in a more arid area, like Arizona, your greenspace can still collect mud and puddles after running your sprinkler system.

Natural lawns tend to flood when it rains heavily. Frequent flooding harms the health of your lawn. Heavy flooding flushes out vital nutrients in the ground that the grass needs to be healthy. It also fills air gaps in the dirt, leaving the grass with insufficient amounts of oxygen. On top of these issues, heavy rain leaves your lawn or greenspace a muddy mess.

Artificial grass, by virtue of its nature, lacks the dirt needed to turn into mud during periods of rainfall.

By purchasing the highest-quality artificial grass, you won’t have to worry about flooding because most will have drainage built in. Nor will you have to postpone your putting sessions due to puddling on the green.

Reduce Maintenance

If you’re one of the few people who enjoys mowing the lawn, congratulations. The rest of us would rather ignore it, pay someone else to maintain it, or simply use artificial grass.

Installation companies such as ROI Sport Surfaces and Amenities can make faux lawns appear surprisingly real. You’ll no longer have to break out the lawn mower and sweat in the summer. By using artificial grass, you won’t need to devote so much time and attention to your putting green. It will still look fabulous.

Conserve Water

Artificial turf doesn’t require water, other than occasional cleaning for spills and the like. Think of the water that you’ll conserve month after month not having to water a large grassy area.

Longer-Lasting Greens

Natural lawns and greenspaces only last so long. That’s because the grass is alive. Faux grass isn’t a living organism, so it doesn’t die. You can go for years without replacing it. Selecting high-quality artificial grass will give you a beautiful putting green for anywhere from 12 – 15 years.
