NOT ALL ARTIFICIAL TURF IS BUILT EQUAL

If you’re seeking for lifelike artificial turf for a business or residential golf green project, you can’t pick up a roll of grass from the domestic big box store. Your experience will unlike what you receive at your local course.

When it comes to artificial grass, you want a results where a chip shot will land, bounce, roll, stop, and reciprocate as naturally to an actual golf green. And to maximize your investment, you want a putt to break and roll realistically from club face to the cup. It’s not too much to ask for, professional player or not.

 

HOW TO CHOOSE A QUALITY TURF

One of the first characteristics to watch for when researching artificial turf for your golf green projects should be the play characteristics of real golf courses.


Let’s start with landing on the green.

When you land a chip shot on the green, you anticipate it to be obtained by the grass properly, bounce accordingly, and roll normally, confidently, towards the cup. That remaining part is as you please, though. Unfortunately, many synthetic grass products can’t provide on that, failing to offer the equal bounce as true greens do. Our Golden Bear product line is particularly and scientifically designed to be practical in this respect and offer 20-25% more ball retention than other prominent synthetic turf products.
