TurfTile Practice Modular Putting Green Review
The TurfTile Practice Green range are modular putting greens for indoor and outdoor use. The range varies in size (and budget!) from the small 8 piece Doonbeg modular putting green to an expansive top-of-the-range 32 piece practice putting green.
Each square tile measures 50cm x 50cm (20″ x 20″). As advertised, they snap together easily and are completely flexible.
There are three types of square available: smooth green putting, long chipping, and super tough driving surfaces. The TurfTile modular putting green range allows for multiple layouts to fit any spaces including the most awkward.
The rough edges operate effectively as attractive borders, perfectly complimenting the smooth green tiles.
Installation can be temporary or permanent. These putting green models are equally popular in golfing shop installations as they are in a home or garden scenario. The TurfTile can be expanded to fill a courtyard, backyard or shrunk to fit the corner of a deck. It is easy to assemble and disassemble. The TurfTile can also be easily cleaned with broom or wet/dry vacuum.
A number of advanced artificial putting green technologies are at play to ensure a smooth surface with no seams between squares. TurfTile is bonded to a polymer frame that snaps together precisely. The tiles come with rubber bumpers and interlocking pegs.

It’s Summer – Time For A Putting Green Party
Picture the scenario. You just bought a beautiful putting green just to constantly practice on it yourself. Big mistake!
You would be doing your friends and family (not to mention yourself) a disservice by not triumphantly telling everyone about your new practice putting green. Once they hear about it they will all be eager to come and play so why not have a party where everyone can come along and have a go playing on your new putting green.
To add to the fun on the night you can have mini-tournaments complete with fake trophies for the winner. If you have an outdoor putting green then Spring or Summer would be the best time to host a party for obvious weather-related issues, on the other hand if your practice green is an indoor-putting green then you can have a Putting Party all year-round, in fact you may find yourself throwing these parties all year-round such is the pleasure and enjoyment shared by all on these nights.
You can have a kiddies putting tournament on the putting green, a tournament for both sexes then a battle of the champions. Fun is guaranteed for all.
However a few words of warning – if the tournament being played on a grass putting green then ensure the children don’t slice up your turf, the same goes for adults in fact, particularly those who might be enjoying a beer or two on the night.
You should have a few accessories to add further on the night – things like plastic trophies, scorecards, hole-in-one prizes etc. Putting green parties are lighthearted affairs and provide a distraction from your own putting practice now that you have your own practice putting green.
If you have an indoor synthetic putting green then you will want to ensure that guests don’t spill liquids such as beer on your green. Why not provide a nearby table for people to rest their glasses or bottles whilst they chat and play. If you have an outdoor green and plan on having a barbecue at your party then don’t have it too close to your putting green. You do not want a group of people trampling over your golf green to pick up their hot dogs or burgers.
The agony of failed putts will no longer be a problem thanks to the hours of practice you put in on your putting green but don’t forget to enjoy owning one as much as possible. Having a Putting Green Party is one of the best ways of enjoying owning a golf putting green.
Portable Putting Greens
Naturally the biggest advantage of having your own portable putting green is the flexibility in where you can put it and the ease with which you can move it. You can play at home in the morning and depending on your work situation you can putt a few balls on your lunch break, before bringing your portable putting green home again in the evening to sink a few more putts on your practice green.
Portable putting greens are most suitable for golf lovers whose garden may not be large enough to have an outdoor putting green nor their homes conducive to having an indoor putting green installed. They also suit people whose job has them traveling frequently, what better way to spend those endless hours in faceless hotel rooms than by mastering your putting skills? These portable greens are compact and easy to transport as most of them you simply roll up and put back in their case and bring them with you.
Whether it is to play in the evening once the kids have gone to bed, or to unwind in the office after a tough day, portable putting greens provide the opportunity to relax, unwind and practice your golf at the same time.
Portable golf greens vary from cheap greens with a very unnatural surface (not recommended) to more modern models, that might be a little bit more expensive but will be of far greater benefit to your game, if you are a serious player.
Portable putting greens not only help you keep your handicap down, they’re also healthy for your bank balance. No more pricey training sessions with a professional golfer, nor costly prices as you practice your putting on expensive greens, your own portable practice green ensures that your putting is not the only thing that you are cutting back on.
Practice Putting Green featured on the TV show Psych
We are big fans of the offbeat psychic detective show, Psych, on the USA Network. So we were doubly thrilled when, early in Friday’s episode, Sean attempted a straightforward, albeit long, putt down the corridor of the Police precinct towards a practice putting green not unlike the Caddie Mat Automatic Return Putting Green.
Needless to say, in true Psych fashion, the golf ball took an incredibly circuitous route towards the pin on the practice putting green. Just as it looked like Sean had pulled off the greatest putt in golf putting practice history. The ball was kicked off target, just inches from the hole.
Oh well. That’s Psych!

Expand-A-Green Modular Putting Green Review
As it’s name suggests, the Expand-A-Green practice green is one of the most expandable and easily portable modular putting greens on the market.
Each Expand-A-Green kit contains ten modular interlocking panels, two regulation size cups and two flag sticks. Pins can be placed at multiple locations. The playing surface is around half an inch thick, so the cups are not fully sunk though they are recessed.
Expand-A-Green is weather resistant and as such is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. It measures 24 square feet in area. The ball travels at country club speed.
A six piece expansion kit is available, allowing for a large number of putting green configurations.
Care must be taken when attaching modules to each other to ensure there is no lip or seam between modules. This is to be expected with this type of modular putting green that does not use an overlay.
If you’re looking for a fun, portable and changeable practice putting green that plays at a great speed, all at a reasonable price, it’s hard to beat Expand-A-Green.

Tour Links 3′x10′ Dogbone Indoor / Outdoor Putting Green Review
The Dogbone Indoor / Outdoor Putting Green is produced by Tour Links, one of the most popular putting green manufacturers in the world. It is a dual-ended, weather resistant and portable practice putting green.
Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, the Tour Links 3′x10′ Dogbone Indoor / Outdoor Putting Green uses patented technology to produce a green with a tour speed experience. Combined with two regulation sized cups (one at each end) and a single practice pin, this practice putting green has an authentic feel to it.
The putting green platform is elevated a few inches from the ground providing a full 20 square feet of putting surface. If installed outside, it can be installed ’submerged’ by those few inches, allowing it to become level with the ground and thus providers a bigger surface for the golfer to stand on.
The Tour Links 3′x10′ Dogbone Indoor / Outdoor Putting Green is also a very portable practice putting green. Like most Tour Links products, it is easily assembled from a number of interlocking panels finished by rolling the pre-cut turf on top. Tour Links panels are constructed with strong honeycomb providing ample support for players.
The Dogbone putting green looks as good as it feels and fits perfectly in a home setting. A highly recommended product from a respected manufacturer.
