Negative Aspects Of An Artificial Home Putting Green

By Raymond R. Chase


An artificial putting green is synthetic grass installed in your office or home for golf training sessions or for home beautification. It is cost effective and very low in maintenance. Although it has its own advantages, there are also a number of limitations to take into consideration before buying a synthetic home putting green. Listed here are the disadvantages of an artificial putting green which will help you decide whether to get one or not:

Unnatural

There may be a variety of choices with regards to color-from light to a darker shade of green, but still, imitating the natural color of true grass might be difficult to copy in the exact manner. Besides color selection, there's a variety of choices when it comes to texture. But the natural feel and natural appeal of a true grass can't be imitated one hundred percent.

Shift from artificial to real golf course

Since it is synthetic, it tends to get hotter on mid days than in natural grass. That is one of the disadvantages of an artificial putting green. We all know that plants do emit oxygen which is good for our health, and they also cool down the temperature of the surroundings on mid days. But in the case of an artificial putting green, the heat absorbing materials of a synthetic green makes it difficult and uncomfortable to play during hot days.

Rise in temperature

In a real golf course, there are hills and slopes to consider, which cannot be imitated in a home scenario. Thus, if a golfer constantly practices golf at home, he/she may have to deal with the change in texture and surface smoothness of a real golf course.

Water logging

Among the disadvantages of artificial home putting green is that if poorly installed in your backyard, it may incur some water logging problems. You may need to carefully consider the type of material used to avoid such a problem. The cost of the product is quite high, so be careful to choose the right one that will not give you a headache regarding water logging issue.

In spite of all the benefits of an artificial home putting green, consider also the other side of the coin. There may be some disadvantages of an artificial putting green that you may want to think about before buying a product that is relatively expensive in comparison to real grass.

In order to make an informed decision, weigh both the advantages and disadvantages. If you decide that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, knowing the disadvantages can help set expectations.
