HOW MUCH WILL A PUTTING GREEN COST?
This is a valid question that most putting green dealers/installers
will not give a direct answer until they are ready to write a contract.
This is information that you need to know before you start
shopping to be able to see what size putting green will fit your
budget.
Golf Greens By Design wants
our customers to know the facts with regard to total cost, cost per
square foot and exactly what you are getting in a putting green.
The total costs of your in-ground synthetic putting green will be composed of two major items--
1. Cost of the foundation that the turf is installed over and-
2. Cost of the turf installed.
The cost of the foundation is often reduced by some dealer's to "stay below the competition" in price. The downside
of this approach is that the installation of an outdoor in-ground
putting green without a stable weather proof foundation is like
building a house directly on the ground without a stable foundation.
Synthetic putting surfaces constucted on poor foundations will not last. See Installation-Foundations
Golf Greens By Design
will not install a putting green without a foundation. The Mirage
Tour Putt System requires a compacted crushed aggregate foundation
placed on a stable sub grade. Because of this Mirage offers
a ten year warranty on Mirage Tour Putt Turf. We will review the
sub surface soils and engineer a foundation for your green that will be
there as long as your house.
The Cost of the turf installed
involves the turf, cups, pins, and the installation costs. Mirage
Tour Putt Turf "the finest bent grass synthetic turf in the industry,
is competitively priced with our competitors.
As a general rule, the cost of the foundation varies between 30% to 50%
of the total cost with the cost of the turf and installation making up
the difference.
Prices per square foot can only be applied to the cost of the turf
installed only. Therefore it is not a good measure of competitive
prices.
Synthetic putting greens cannot be quoted and compared "by
the square foot" because of the foundation variables and other criteria
such as site access, slope of ground, and water drainage.
See the Price Estimate Table for examples on Pricing-In-Ground Greens.
