What to look for in Indoor Putting Greens

Indoor putting greens may mean you get less sun but they also mean you get less rain and that can only be good news from a golfer’s perspective.

Indoor golf putting greens are no longer reserved solely for the homes of golf enthusiasts. They are now commonplace at corporate events such as conventions and also adorn the reception areas of large businesses. Their growing popularity can be attributed to a few factors amongst them competitive prices, practicality and a wide choice of putting green to suit any occasion.

Whether you are having an open putting tournament with colleagues or friends, or if you are concentrating on refining your putting skills there are other practice putting green features to look out for when considering which indoor putting green to purchase. (You may be able to get these items separately to your green).

• A step on either side to facilitate both left and right-handed golfers
• Putt reducer to make your target that little bit more difficult to reach thus enhancing your putting ability
• Putter-rack to rest your putters against

Depending on the type of green that you wish to buy you will need to consider some installation issues, though most are very easy to install and will pose no maintenance difficulties.

Once you have identified the room in your home or office, that you intend putting your practice green, then you need to measure the dimensions in that room in order to find a green that will be a suitable match for that room. You should bear in mind that you may find yourself becoming more popular with friends and family once you buy an indoor putting green so, if possible, try to put the green in a roomy area in your house / office allowing for visitors and suitable for a party or tournament.

Should you intend to buy an indoor putting green purely for practice then you will only require a smaller area as you will not expect to have fellow-players or guests lounging around.
