Imagine Your Own Par 3, Right at Home

Wouldn't it be amazing to walk out your back door and hit a few strokes? The Putting Green Company of Long Island makes that dream a reality, creating custom greens comprised of the finest synthetic turf in the industry. Today you can practice all the facets of the short game: putting, chipping, pitching and sand play, without ever leaving your property.

"With our impact greens, when you hit a chip, pitch or bunker shot, the ball bites as though it was received by bent grass," says president Jim Graham. "Our greens differ from our competitors' since they give you the necessary feedback to truly improve your short game." With The Putting Green's product, avid golfers are sure to lower their handicaps, while the novice player will enjoy the entertainment value. Putting, chipping and approach shot contests are recreational challenges that will captivate the interest of family and friends, regardless of age or experience.

"Our residential putting greens are a beautiful addition to your home," says Graham. That's evident in the green pictured here, inspired by the 12th hole at Augusta Country Club in Georgia, which Graham's company created for an East Moriches homeowner. "Our greens are designed to complement your current landscaping, creating a look that will bring serenity and enjoyment to you and your entire family."
