A Putting Green Designed for Your Backyard
Bring your short game home with a custom backyard putting green designed around your space and how you like to play.
You don’t need a huge yard to enjoy putting at home. A well-planned green can turn an unused corner of your backyard into a place to practice, relax, or play a few rounds with friends and family.
The right design depends on your available space and what you want out of it. Some homeowners want a simple green to practice short putts. Others want multiple holes, longer putting distances, or enough variation to make each shot a little different.
We look at how the green will fit into your yard, how you plan to use it, and which features make sense for the space.
Small Backyard Putting Greens
A compact putting green can make good use of limited backyard space. Even a smaller design can include multiple cup locations and gentle breaks to create different practice shots. Our backyard putting green packages start at $3,599, including a promotional option for approximately 300 square feet.
Custom Multi-Hole Putting Greens
If you have more room, a larger green can include several holes, longer putting distances, and more variation in the surface. Cup placement and contours can be planned to give you different ways to practice. Tee lines and multiple holes can be laid out around your skill level and goals, and for larger yards we can build practice areas with several putting surfaces and chipping locations. If you’re also updating the surrounding lawn, we install artificial turf for the rest of the yard to match.
Putting Greens With Fringe and Chipping Areas
Want to work on more than putting? We build chipping areas with surrounding fringe and sand bunkers as part of the design, using different turf for the putting surface and the fringe. Decorative gravel or stone borders and putting cup lighting can be added too.

Every backyard is different, and a putting green should feel like part of the property rather than something placed in the middle of it. Take a look at some of the backyard putting greens we’ve installed around Houston. These projects show how different layouts, borders, and surrounding landscaping can come together to create a finished outdoor space.
Can You Fit a Putting Green in Your Backyard?
One of the first questions homeowners ask is how much room they'll need.
There isn’t one perfect size. A small practice green may work well in a compact yard, while a larger space allows for longer putts, more holes, and additional practice features.
Before choosing a layout, there are a few things worth considering:
- Available space: How much of your yard do you want to dedicate to golf?
- Shape and slope: Can the existing layout accommodate a green, and how much grading might be needed?
- Drainage: Where does rainwater currently collect or flow?
- Surrounding features: How will the green fit around patios, pools, walkways, and landscaping?
- How you’ll play: Are you mainly practicing putting, or do you want room for other short-game shots?
You don’t need to figure all of this out before contacting us. We can evaluate your yard and help you understand what kind of putting green makes sense for your property.
How Much Does a Backyard Putting Green Cost in Houston?
Backyard putting green packages start at $3,599, including a promotional option for approximately 300 square feet. What goes into your package, from holes and fringe to padding and base prep, is set with you at a free consultation around your yard and layout, not from a fixed list. The factors below help set your final price.
A simple practice green with a straightforward layout has different installation requirements than a larger green with several cups, custom contours, fringe, and more detailed landscaping.
Size and Shape
The footprint of the green sets how much turf, base material, and grading the job needs.
Holes and Surface Complexity
The number of holes, breaks, and contours in the putting surface adds design and shaping work.
Ground Conditions and Drainage
Existing soil conditions and where water collects affect how much preparation the base needs.
Excavation, Grading, and Base Prep
A yard that needs extensive preparation costs more to install than a relatively level space.
Fringe, Edging, and Design Features
Fringe and chipping areas, sand bunkers, and borders add to the scope of the project, along with the choice of turf for the putting surface and the fringe.
Access to the Installation Area
Easy access for equipment and materials makes the installation simpler than a tight or enclosed yard.

Built for Houston Backyards
A backyard putting green needs more than attractive artificial grass. What’s underneath the surface matters just as much as what you see.
Houston’s heavy rainfall and shifting clay soil make proper preparation important. Poor grading or an unstable base can affect how a putting green drains and how consistently the ball rolls.
The base and drainage are built for Houston rain and shifting clay soil. Each green sits on a compacted crushed granite base, with sand infill measured per square foot, power-broomed between applications and compressed with ride-on rollers for a smooth, consistent roll. The putting surface itself is one-inch polypropylene putting turf, with quarter-inch foam padding available on mid-level and premium greens.
The goal is a green that looks good in your yard and delivers a consistent playing experience.

Very happy with my project. Looks perfect. I didn’t get any additional quotes but the price was quite a bit cheaper than I was seeing on online estimators. Would definitely use again.
Great work, it looks better than we could have ever imagined! We love our new yard!
If I could give more stars I would. We had an awesome experience working with Houston Turf from the initial quote/estimate to the completion of the project. The team is hardworking, informative, and extremely kind. They got the job done quickly without sacrificing quality. The amount of compliments that we’ve got on our new backyard speaks volumes to the quality of work and a few of our neighbors have already asked for their information to hopefully transform their backyard as well! I’m calling Houston Turf every time. Truly a great experience. Thank you all again!!

Backyard Putting Green FAQs
Answers to the questions homeowners ask most before planning a backyard putting green in Houston.
How much space do I need for a backyard putting green?
It depends on how you want to use it. Smaller greens can work well for short-putt practice, while larger layouts provide more room for different putting distances and multiple holes. We can help determine what fits your available space.
Can my putting green have realistic slopes and breaks?
Yes. We can design breaks and contours into the green to create different putting challenges. The amount of variation depends on the design, available space, and intended playing experience.
Can I practice chipping on an artificial putting green?
Yes. Chipping areas with surrounding fringe can be built as part of the green, using a different turf for the fringe than for the putting surface. Let us know during the planning stage so we can design the right layout for it.
How much maintenance does a backyard putting green need?
Artificial putting greens don’t require mowing or regular watering like natural grass. They still benefit from removing leaves and debris, occasional cleaning, and periodic care to maintain the putting surface.
How long does a backyard putting green installation take?
It depends on the size of your green and the site. We’ll give you a specific timeline at your free consultation.
Does a backyard putting green come with a warranty?
Yes. Our standard installations generally include a 15-year manufacturer’s warranty on the turf and a 5-year workmanship warranty on qualifying installation-related issues. Coverage is subject to the applicable terms and exclusions, and damage from reflective heat, misuse, improper maintenance or outside causes may not be covered.
