Why San Jose & Silicon Valley Should Choose J & P for Their Custom Putting Green Installation
Professional-Quality Turf and Construction
Putting greens require specialized synthetic turf engineered specifically for golf—not standard landscape turf. We install premium golf turf with proper stimp ratings (ball roll speed) that mimics real greens, allowing you to practice realistic putts that translate directly to the course. The base construction is equally critical—we install layers of crushed rock and sand with proper compaction and drainage so the surface plays consistently and handles Bay Area’s seasonal moisture without soft spots or settling.
Custom Designs That Match Your Skill Goals
Cookie-cutter putting greens don’t help you improve specific weaknesses in your game. We design each green based on your practice priorities—incorporating breaking putts if you struggle reading greens, elevation changes for uphill/downhill practice, or multiple pin positions for varied challenges. Want to work on lag putting from distance? We design larger greens. Need short-game work? We add chipping areas and practice bunkers. This customized approach creates practice facilities that address your specific development needs.
Mandatory Compliance Made Easy
With California requiring residential properties to remove non-functional turf by 2028, you’ll need to make the change eventually. Getting ahead of the mandate means better rebates, lower costs, and avoiding the rush when everyone scrambles to comply at the last minute. We design beautiful water-wise landscapes that meet all state requirements while enhancing your property value and curb appeal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Custom putting greens typically range from $15,000-$40,000+ depending on size, complexity, and features. A basic 500 square foot flat green starts around $15,000-$20,000. Mid-size greens with contours and multiple cups average $25,000-$35,000. Large elaborate designs with bunkers, chipping areas, and multiple levels can exceed $40,000. While significant investments, putting greens add substantial value for golf enthusiasts and create unique property features.
Most residential putting greens range from 400-1,000 square feet. A 500 square foot green (roughly 20x25 feet) provides adequate practice space for most golfers. Larger 800-1,000 square foot greens allow for longer putts and more varied hole positions. We design greens to fit your available space while maximizing practice value—even smaller greens with good contours provide excellent short game work.
Modern golf-specific synthetic turf is remarkably realistic with proper installation. Premium turf products stimp at 9-11 (similar to many golf courses) with consistent ball roll and true break reading. Proper base construction ensures firm, fast surfaces without the soft spots common in poor installations. Most golfers find that practice on quality synthetic greens translates directly to course performance
Yes, and these additions significantly enhance practice value by allowing comprehensive short game work. Practice bunkers use real sand with proper drainage and edging. Chipping areas use slightly longer turf around the green for realistic approach shots. Many clients add these features to create complete practice facilities that work on all aspects of short game—putting, chipping, pitching, and bunker play.
Very minimal maintenance compared to natural grass—mainly occasional brushing to keep turf fibers upright and periodic rinsing to remove dust and debris. No mowing, watering, fertilizing, or pesticides needed. Quality golf turf lasts 10-15+ years with proper care. Most owners spend less than 30 minutes monthly on maintenance versus hours weekly for natural grass alternatives.
