For many golfers, practising at home is the perfect way to improve confidence and enjoy the game more often. A professionally designed backyard putting green creates a dedicated space where you can refine your short game, spend time outdoors and enjoy golf with family and friends.
Whether you’re an experienced golfer or simply looking to add a unique feature to your home, a synthetic putting green can transform the way you use your outdoor space.
At Unreal Lawns, we design and install premium backyard putting greens throughout New Zealand, creating attractive, low-maintenance spaces that can be enjoyed year-round.
Why Homeowners Choose a Backyard Putting Green
A backyard putting green is more than a place to practise golf.
It creates an outdoor feature that combines recreation, relaxation and lifestyle.
Many homeowners choose a putting green to:
- Practise their short game at home.
- Spend more time outdoors.
- Create a unique entertaining area.
- Enjoy golf with family and friends.
- Add a premium feature to their backyard.
- Reduce lawn maintenance compared with natural grass.
Whether you’re practising for your next round or simply enjoying time outside, a putting green offers lasting enjoyment.
A Space Designed Around Your Lifestyle
Every backyard is different, and every putting green should be too.
Some homeowners want a simple practice green, while others prefer a larger design with multiple holes, fringe grass and surrounding landscaping.
Your putting green can be tailored to complement your home, your garden and the way you enjoy your outdoor space.
Enjoy More Time Outdoors
One of the biggest benefits of a backyard putting green is having a reason to spend more time outside.
Instead of travelling to the golf course to work on your putting, you can step into your own backyard whenever it suits you.
Whether it’s a quick practice session before work, relaxing on the weekend or enjoying time with friends, your putting green becomes part of your everyday lifestyle.
A Great Space for Entertaining
A professionally designed putting green creates a conversation piece that guests naturally enjoy.
Whether you’re hosting a family barbecue, celebrating with friends or simply relaxing outdoors, a putting green provides entertainment for golfers and non-golfers alike.
It becomes a feature that brings family and friends together while adding personality to your outdoor living area.
Low Maintenance, Year-Round Enjoyment
Unlike natural grass, a synthetic putting green requires very little maintenance.
There is:
- No mowing.
- No fertilising.
- No irrigation.
- No muddy patches after rain.
With occasional cleaning and simple routine care, your putting green will continue providing years of enjoyment.
Designed to Complement Your Home
A backyard putting green should feel like a natural extension of your landscape.
Many homeowners combine their putting green with:
- Premium artificial grass.
- Garden beds.
- Pool areas.
- Outdoor entertaining spaces.
- Feature planting.
- Decorative edging.
The result is an attractive outdoor environment that enhances both your lifestyle and your property’s appearance.
