Take it to the Next Level with Professionally Designed & Installed Putting Courses
Southwest Greens Florida has extensive experience designing and installing putting courses for commercial properties. Each project is individual in the intended audience it wants to serve so we are flexible in our approach to meeting those needs when designing a course. KPMG recently selected us to design-build 18 replica golf holes from famous golf courses at their Training and Development Center in Lake Nona, Florida. We have designed numerous mini golf, fun courses for Marriott timeshare resorts and hotels. The South Florida Science Center in West Palm Beach has a unique, tropical inspired course that we installed in 2016. The Conservation Course was co-designed by Gary Nicklaus and Jim Fazio. When downtown Abacoa in Jupiter, Florida wanted to add an 18-hole putting course to their town center, Southwest Greens of Florida built the first Nicklaus Design mini golf course that Jack Nicklaus himself christened at the grand opening. We work with various outside designers to create the courses our customer’s desire.

How can I tell the difference between a good turf installation company versus a bad one?
The good one has been around for a long time and can actually show you 10 plus year old installations that still look good with a happy customer. They have an excellent reputation and have worked for years for high-end builders, GC’s and landscape architects. They don’t cut corners and leave out key ingredients to doing a quality job that lasts the test of time. Consequently, good ones tend to cost more than the cheap guy who has to leave stuff out to be low price. A telltale sign is the Turf Installation contractor who says “I can bang this out in a couple of days”. Ask…how much time it will take to complete the job? The good one will have more time in on the job. Attention to detail is important to delivering a quality finished turf job.
Does all synthetic grass get hot?
Direct, radiant sunlight is what heats up artificial turf. If your turf is in the shade and it’s 95 degrees outside, the turf will be near the ambient temperature. Direct UV can heat turf up to temps above 160 degrees. Thankfully, there is a solution to cooling turf down using HydroChill coated infill sand which retains moisture in the turf system. This polymer coated sand absorbs and retains the moisture, slowly letting it evaporate out, thereby creating an evaporative cooling effect. Southwest Greens of Florida stock and regularly installs HydroChill for clients who need 40 to 50 degree cooler turf.
What about turf for pets, dogs or cats? Does urine stain the turf grass?
Southwest Greens has specially design turf for pets, but most synthetic turf will not be adversely affected by pet urine. Turf designed specifically for pet applications has a higher, flow-through rate than traditional synthetic turf backings. Pet urine will not stain landscape lawn turf made with polyethylene turf fibers.
Does synthetic turf drain? Is artificial turf impervious?
One of the biggest myths and misnomers about synthetic turf is that it does not drain and treated as impervious by backward, closed-minded municipal governments, city councils or HOA’s. Typically, these folks already made up their minds that they don’t want synthetic turf in their communities and are going to deny their constituents from having it based on false claims. Synthetic turf drains at a much higher rate than natural sod and has been tested by geotechnical engineers to prove it. Moreover, standardized ASTM testing on the turf material itself shows it drains at a rate above 100 inches per square yard per hour using even the traditional, hole punched polyurethane backing. High-flow through backings designed for pets drains at even higher rates. Porous base materials like 57 stone topped with 89 stone ensure a high flow through rate as well. Ironically, these same naysayers are all for the product when it comes to their parks, playgrounds and athletic fields which all seem to drain fine…no problem.
