Discover why many professional golfers prefer to play on synthetic turf.


Champions such as Jim Furyk, Hale Irwin, and Vijay Singh all use and endorse the Southwest Greens premium synthetic golf putting greens. These professionals all know that our artificial golf greens are the best on the market. Here are a few of the reasons why they love our greens.


EXPERT QUALITY

Thanks to its high-quality design, artificial grass is an ideal choice for all aspects of golf. Any golfer is aware of the wear that happens on a putting green or course. Traditional grass is more susceptible to damage caused by golfing. Southwest Greens has mastered the art and science of artificial turf installation. We’ve designed and installed over 6,000 golf greens worldwide as backyard putting greens, luxurious golf courses, and more.


REAL FEEL

While all of our golf greens replicate natural grass, one of our customer’s preferred turfs is Golden Bear. Golden Bear turf is designed in partnership with Nicklaus Design. This high-level artificial turf rolls, bounces, and receives like a pro course. Shot after shot, Golden Bear has the best aim of any putting surface. The playability feels so real you would swear you are on organic grass.


LOOKS BETTER

There isn’t anything like seeing a green, perfectly manicured lawn. With synthetic turf, you will see a gorgeous green with hardly any work year-round. You can choose from a variety of grass blade types, colors, and weights to get what you want. Our team can help create a completely customized experience for your needs.


DURABLE

By investing in artificial turf, you immediately reduce the amount of maintenance necessary to keep it looking great. Our turf stays durable use after use, year after year. It won’t fade from the sun or compress from heavy foot traffic. Never mow or water again when you invest in synthetic turf.


PEST-FREE

Even if you’re not the one maintaining your golf greens, you know weeds and pests may take over a wide area of organic grass. Not only does this look bad, but weeds and pests can also wreak havoc on your allergies. With artificial turf, you won’t have to worry about animals, insects, or weeds. Because they can’t eat it, animals and bugs won’t hang around to munch on your grass.
