Determine location:

Consider the material that you're using 12ft. wide or 15ft. wide for the putting green surface.

The Layout:

See a few free putting green designs on our website.

Laying out your practice putting green area is a key to getting exactly what you need to help you improve your golf game.

Putting green material is normally manufactured in two widths 12' and 15'. Also keep in mind that you will need to trim off a few inches on each side (12' material becomes roughly 11.5').

Your backyard putting green design is only limited to your imagination. To help in you layout your putting green we recommend you take some rope, garden hose, or even landscaping paint and shape it to the size of your desired putting green area. (Only use marker pant after you complete a rough layout)

Keep in mind that you might want to add fringe to one side, or completely surrounding it.
