How is the Mirage Turf different from other synthetic turf?
The difference between Mirage turf fibers and other synthetic turf
begins with the manufacturing process. Mirage
turf fibers spring set turf fibers and are manufactured to
interlock with each other, creating a realistic bent fiber look, just
like "real bent grass" greens.
How does the Mirage Turf hold up in an outdoor environment?
Mirage Turf is assembled using the finest UV-treated polypropylene
& nylon, water-resistant fibers. Our turf carries a 10 year limited
warranty against excessive wear and fading, and resists normal rain,
snow, wind, freeze and sun. Mirage Turf has been installed from the
cold, freezing climates of Canada to the hot, arid deserts of the
American west, to the rainy, humid areas of Hawaii and Florida.
Is the Mirage Turf maintenance free?
When was the last time you owned something that was totally
"maintenance free?" Our putting surface is "hassle-free". The Mirage
non-sand filled turf is as maintenance free as it gets, even when
partially sand assisted/weighted. Our specially designed, interlocking
spring set fibers help hold the sand in place, while stabilizing the
root of the fiber. Even our sand-assisted/weighted greens are virtually
maintenance free. Once installed, just keep the leaves and debris off
the surface, just like you would with a real putting green. You can
even vacuum our turf!!!
Don't be fooled by other companies that state their turf product is
totally "maintenance free." This is as far from the truth as it gets.
Unlike Mirage Turf, synthetic sand-filled greens require periodic
sanding, top dressing, sweeping and water rolling.
Why shouldn't I install a real grass putting green?
Real bent grass putting greens are very expensive to install and
require expensive daily maintenance. Just ask a golf course
superintendent or anyone who has owed a real grass putting green about
the required maintenance, and I'm sure you will not want a real bent
grass green in your yard.
Can a Mirage Putting Green be sculptured with breaks and undulations?
Yes! A Mirage Putting Green can be made to look just like real grass tour greens.
What size or shape can the Mirage Putting Green be?
Just about any size or shape you want can be constructed.
Can I chip onto my Mirage Putting Green?
Yes! Our special shock-absorbing infill, coupled with the spring action
inter-locking fibers, makes our surface "check-up," similar to most
real grass greens. Please keep in mind that no synthetic putting
surface will hold a ball exactly like a real tour green, and don't let
anyone tell you differently. Our greens are as close as it gets to real
grass greens. Just look at our customer list and we're sure you'll
agree.
On large custom greens, will the seams split apart over time?
No! Mirage Putting Greens seams will not split apart. Our seams and our
turf are glued down to our proprietary base. We do install our greens
on just any type soil. All Mirage Tour Putt Greens are install on a
compacted crushed aggregate base or concrete base.
Is Mirage Turf the same style synthetic turf that you see installed on miniature putt-putt courses?
No, absolutely not! Miniature golf turf is usually installed as a glue
down on a cement, and their fibers are short and not very dense. They
putt very fast, and the turf does not last very long.
Can anyone install the Mirage Turf System?
Only certified and trained Mirage Dealers can install the Mirage Turf System.
We do offer Do-It-Yourself Turf Kits with complete technical
instructions for those who want to do their own installation.
There would probably be a 20% to 30% savings for those who want to do
their own installation.
