Putting Green Turf vs Landscape Turf
4 min read · Blades Synthetic Turf, Charleston
These are two different products with two very different goals.
Putting green turf
- Short, dense nylon fibers for smooth, consistent ball roll.
- Engineered for putting — not for walking long distances or running on.
- Available in bi-color and tri-color finishes for a realistic look.
Landscape turf
- Taller blades and a thatch layer for a natural lawn appearance.
- Better for general foot traffic, pets, and landscape uses.
- Not ideal for putting — ball roll will be slow and inconsistent.
When to use both
Many backyard golf setups use both — putting turf for the green itself, and a landscape turf for the surrounding fringe and lawn area.
