Orangevale, CA – For dedicated golfers, a professional-quality green right at home is the ultimate amenity. So when a golf aficionado in Orangevale wanted to bring that dream to life, he turned to the golf experts at SYNLawn Sacramento/Bay Area. Together, they designed and built a backyard putting green in Sacramento County that has quickly become the envy of the neighborhood.
Designing a Dream Green With Eight Unique Putting Surfaces
SYNLawn Sacramento/Bay Area has extensive experience creating luxurious outdoor spaces for homeowners throughout the Sacramento region, from Orangevale and Fair Oaks to Folsom and Citrus Heights. For this project, the team worked closely with the homeowner to design a 1,200-square-foot green featuring eight distinct putting surfaces, each with its own challenges and characteristics.
One standout feature is an area with two holes side by side: one sits on a steep decline and the other on a steep incline, testing a golfer’s skill and precision in completely different ways. Multiple bunkers are strategically placed around the green to raise the challenge even further.
Premium Golf Turf Built for the Sacramento Climate
The SYNLawn Sacramento/Bay Area team built the custom green using these premium golf products from SYNLawn:
- SYNAugustine X47: This turf offers outstanding safety, softness, and durability with the look of natural grass. It’s an eco-friendly option, made with SYNLawn’s exclusive plant-based EnviroLoc+™ Backing System created from renewable resources like soybean oil. It’s also engineered with SYNLawn Biomimetic™ Technology and Super Yarn™ Technology, featuring heat-reflective, anti-static, Sanitized®, and non-abrasive grass blades for long-lasting performance.
- Precision Putt: Designed for serious golfers who want to improve their game, this Tour Pro-tested, TGL-approved surface delivers the most realistic putting experience, with outstanding ball roll, bounce, and speed. It’s made with 100% durable nylon fibers and a reinforced rubber backing, and it rolls at 10 to 12.5 on the Stimpmeter for fast green speeds and consistent play. HeatBlock™ Technology helps keep surface temperatures comfortable, and UV-stabilized fibers resist fading to keep the green vibrant.
- SYNPlay 48 (no pad) in white: This vibrant, low-friction, non-abrasive surface stands up to heavy foot traffic. Its energy-absorbing cushion minimizes impact to help prevent injuries.
These golf surfaces are also a sustainable choice for drought-prone California. The homeowner never has to water his green to keep it looking immaculate, even through the hot Sacramento Valley summers.
