NOT ALL ARTIFICIAL GRASS IS CREATED EQUAL

If you’re looking for realistic artificial grass for a commercial or residential golf green plan, you can’t pick up a roll of turf from the local big box store. Your experience will unlike what you receive at your local course.

When it comes to artificial turf, you want a result whereupon a chip shot will land, bounce, roll, stop, and react as clearly to an actual golf green. And to amplify your assets, you want a putt to break and roll realistically from club face to the cup. It’s not being unreasonable, professional player or not.

HOW TO CHOOSE A FIRST-CLASS TURF

One of the first characteristics to search for when investigating artificial turf for your golf green projects in Asheville should be the play properties of real golf courses.

Let’s start with landing on the green.

When you land a chip shot on the green, you hope it to be received by the grass correctly, bounce accordingly, and roll normally, confidently, to the cup. That final part is up to you, though. Unfortunately, many synthetic grass products can’t provide on that, failing to offer the same bounce as true greens do. Our Golden Bear product line is especially and scientifically designed to be sensible in this regard and supply 20-25% more ball retention than other leading synthetic turf products.

WHY GOLDEN BEAR GRASS
