There’s nothing quite like having your very own custom putting green installation right in your backyard. Especially when it’s designed with precision, style, and functionality in mind. For golf enthusiasts, practicing your short game at home isn’t just a convenience; it’s a luxury that elevates your outdoor living experience. That’s precisely what Gappsi recently delivered with their latest putting green installation in Center Island, NY. A stunning project that perfectly combines craftsmanship, aesthetics, and the love of golf.

A Backyard Built for Golfers

This new custom putting green installation by the expert team at Gappsi transforms a beautiful waterfront property into a golfer’s paradise. Located near the beach and boasting an incredible waterfront view, the space offers more than just a practice area. It’s a serene escape and a luxurious outdoor feature.

The project was carefully planned to integrate seamlessly with the natural landscape while enhancing the property’s outdoor living space. Beginning near the key box located close to the house, the green extends outward, inviting homeowners and guests to step outside and enjoy a round of golf at any time.

Expert Turf Selection for Superior Playability

One of the most important aspects of a putting green installation is the choice of turf. Gappsi takes this element very seriously. Using only the highest-quality synthetic grass designed for durability, realistic ball roll, and minimal maintenance.

For this Center Island project, Gappsi installed three different types of turf. This serves a unique purpose to replicate the feel and function of a professional golf course:

Trim Turf for Outer Edges and Hills – This turf type provides a clean, polished border and mimics the natural transition you’d find on a real course. Designed to handle slight elevation changes, this feature adds depth and texture to the landscape.
Lighter Turf Fringe – A defining feature of this installation, the fringe creates a smooth transition between the outer trim turf and the putting surface. Its lighter color not only adds visual contrast but also improves playability by simulating the approach areas found around real putting greens.
Putting Green Turf – At the heart of the installation is the putting surface itself, crafted with specialized turf that delivers consistent roll, speed, and realism. This surface, designed to replicate the feel of a professional green, allows golfers to practice with precision.

The combination of these three turf types ensures that every part of the green, from approach to cup, mimics the conditions of a professional golf course while remaining low-maintenance and weather-resistant.

Designed for Play: Flags, Cups, and Sand Bunkers

No putting green is complete without the finishing touches that make it feel like the real thing. Gappsi’s installation includes three flags and cups, carefully positioned to create multiple putting scenarios. These targets enable players to practice various angles, distances, and techniques, thereby improving accuracy, control, and confidence.

To elevate the realism even further, the Gappsi team installed two sand bunkers, one on each side of the green. These features don’t just add visual appeal; they also provide valuable short-game practice. Golfers can work on bunker shots, chip outs, and approaches, all without leaving home.

The placement of the bunkers and cups was strategically designed to offer a range of difficulty levels, ensuring the space is both fun and functional for golfers of all skill levels, from beginners learning the basics to seasoned players fine-tuning their short game.

A Custom Putting Green Installation with a View

What truly sets this installation apart is its breathtaking location. Situated next to the beach, the putting green offers panoramic waterfront views, transforming every practice session into a peaceful and enjoyable experience. The natural light, open sky, and gentle sound of waves create a relaxing atmosphere that makes this backyard more than just a place to golf; it’s a retreat.

This scenic backdrop also makes the space ideal for entertaining. Imagine hosting summer gatherings where friends and family can practice their putting while enjoying the view. Or picture quiet mornings spent perfecting your game before the day begins. With a setting like this, the putting green becomes a focal point of outdoor living.

Low Maintenance, High Performance Synthetic Turf

One of the many advantages of Gappsi’s synthetic putting greens is their low maintenance requirements. Unlike natural grass, which demands regular mowing, watering, fertilizing, and pest control, synthetic turf stays pristine year-round with minimal effort.

This means homeowners can spend more time enjoying their putting green and less time maintaining it. The surface remains consistent in all weather conditions and is designed to last for many years without fading, compacting, or losing performance quality. Even the sand bunkers are built for durability and easy upkeep, ensuring the space always looks and plays like new.

It can be a serene retreat and a visually stunning addition to your complex if done right!

1. Plan For Safety – First and foremost, ensure your rooftop can bear the additional weight of your golf haven. Seek professional help to assess the structural integrity. Once confirmed, design the putting green cautiously to ensure proper safety measures. This could include installing barriers or railings for accident prevention.

2. Utilize Space Wisely—Rooftop spaces can vary significantly in size. Strategic use of available space is crucial regardless of your rooftop’s dimensions. If space is tight, try a minimalist approach, focusing on one or two golf holes and a small seating area. If the location allows, consider a larger green or incorporate a few obstacles for added challenge.

3. Consider Drainage—Good drainage is essential to keeping your rooftop green in top shape. Ensure the base below the artificial turf is designed for efficient drainage. Using turf that allows rapid permeability will prevent waterlogging and increase the lifespan of your green.

4. Choose High-Quality Artificial Turf – Quality matters, especially regarding the artificial turf you install. Opt for top-quality artificial greens replicating the feel of real grass golf greens. They’ll provide the ball roll accuracy and durability that a golf enthusiast appreciates. The quality of the artificial turf you choose heavily influences the green’s playability and durability. Opt for top-quality, low-maintenance artificial grass. It might cost more initially, but it will save time, effort, and long-term satisfaction.

Lightweight, Maintenance Free Synthetic Turf for Rooftops

Rooftop Putting Green Installation, Long Beach, N.Y.

Gappsi recently designed and installed a rooftop putting green in Long Beach, Long Island. The first step is spreading the bluestone gravel, which is applied on top of the Merafi paper. Next, we will install the synthetic turf fringe. Synthetic turf fringe is a section of artificial grass that connects a putting green to the fairway and is also known as the “apron” or “collar.”

Why Do You Need Synthetic Turf Fringe

Purpose: It connects the green to the fairway, prevents the ball from rolling off, and provides stability and protection to the putting green.
Height – Usually 1–2 inches tall, but is customizable.
Width—This can vary depending on the space, but it can be as narrow as 6 inches or several feet wide.
Installation – It should be cut perfectly to blend seamlessly with the putting green.
Benefits – Durable, weather-resistant, and can create a realistic play experience.

The rooftop putting green installation in Long Beach, N.Y., was completed on the second floor over a parking garage. We added flower beds to accent the putting green curves. Creating an impressive landscape around your synthetic putting green is an excellent way to enhance your outdoor space’s aesthetic appeal. Surrounding your putting green with various plantings is a classic landscaping idea. Choose low-growing perennial flowers, ornamental grasses, or ground covers to create a beautiful and natural-looking boundary that visually separates your green from the rest of your space.

The putting green has a very beautiful undulation. Although it is difficult to see from the images posted, bumps and gullies have been added to create a golf course feel.

We installed the putting green grass and the Gappsi Dreamy 35 (1.5 Pile Height) for the fringe. This project was done for Engel Burman, an apartment complex on Long Beach’s water. We installed five cups and flags and outlined the flower beds with aluminum metal edging. This is the latest sports game court installation completed in Long Beach, NY.
