    Reasons for buying an artificial all weather golf green for Home...  
 
Home Nowhere to Practice?  
      You drive for show, but putt for dough! We all know the frustration of countless shots wasted, not just in putting but our short game in general. But what do we do about it? With our long game, we might find a driving range and hit a few balls, but it's not so easy to find somewhere to practice putting and chipping in a realistic situation. Step outside (or inside) for some serious practice with your own personal SofTrak golf green. 60% of golf is played on and around the green and 15 minutes practice a day can dramatically improve your game.  
 
Home No time for a round?  
     

A round of golf is fantastic, but you do need several hours to fit one in. With our lifestyles today, we often have smaller pockets of free time available for practice. With your own personal SofTrak artificial golf green, suit yourself when and how long you play for.

 
 
Home Weather not great?  
     

It’s often difficult to predict what will come our way in the next hour, never mind day! Also our courses are increasingly affected (and often closed) by the weather. With your own personal SofTrak golf green, the weather is unimportant. It can withstand our full range of seasons’ weather. You choose when to play - if you change your mind, simply step back inside!

 
 
Home Want the children (or others) to learn golf?  
      It’s not always easy teaching kids golf on a golf course. Keeping your eye on their swing, ball, etiquette, timekeeping and maintaining your cool is difficult! With your own personal SofTrak golf green, you can supplement other coaching. Learning can be a lot more fun in a relaxed environment.  
 
Home Want to have fun with family & friends?  
      With your own personal SofTrak golf green, your family and friends can join you for fun or serious competition, whenever the mood strikes you. The proven SofTrak System is built to last from the ground up and is extremely durable. This means that young and old alike, serious or fun golfer, can have a go without worrying about damage to the green. You can already hear the laughter! The green can also be used for croquet and bowling creating a real multi-use facility.  
 
Home No time or expertise to maintain a natural golf green?  
      Installing a real grass golf green is an option, but is expensive and extremely time consuming to maintain (mowing, watering, aerating & fertilising). In practice, unless you have a greenkeeper on call, it is unlikely you will be successful long term. A SofTrak golf green requires an average of only 2 hours maintenance a year, yet looks, feels and plays just like the real thing.  
 
 
    Reasons for buying an all weather golf green for Business...  
 
Business I Want something to differentiate me from my business competitors...  
      Today's customers are increasingly selective, often choosing a particular business for the range and quality of facilities they offer. A golf green from the Green Approach provides your business with an innovative leisure facility, in a popular and growing sector. Research shows that, in the UK and Ireland, there are around 1.3 million golf club members and more than 5 million regular golfers who are not members of a club. In addition, there are countless enthusiastic amateurs! Adding a golf green to your business makes it very attractive to many more potential customers.  
 
Business I already have a golf course / golf range as part or all of my business...  
      Adverse weather and ground conditions make the maintenance of our golf courses and ranges extremely difficult. It may be that you have a particular problem green or want a complimentary short game practice facility that is open all year round. Whatever the reason, our all weather golf greens are ideal, soaking up the punishment with minimum maintenance. The Green Approach also offers all weather golf tees and pathways / cartways. It may be that some of your existing teeing areas or pathways are a mess in winter or you want a teeing area for your range / practice facility. We have a solution that will help you.  
 
Business I like the idea, but don't have enough space...  
      Our golf greens can be literally any size or shape, indoor or outdoor. They are extremely robust and can have a multi-use function, if space is tight. Worldwide they are installed on balconies, terraces, roof tops, decks and in basements. We'll help you find the space.  
 
Business I like the idea, but don't want the hassle of maintaining a green...  
      A real grass golf green is extremely time consuming and expensive to maintain. Unless you employ professional greenkeeping staff , you are very unlikely to succeed. A SofTrak golf green however, requires only a couple of hours a year to maintain it. If desired, we are happy to do this for you under a maintenance program. As with a real grass green, you should also keep the SofTrak green free of debris / leaves by brushing off and rolling with a light garden roller occasionally. With minimum maintenance, your green is open all year round, regardless of weather or ground conditions.  
 
 
How much does an all weather golf green cost?  
    A SofTrak golf green is significantly less expensive to install and maintain than a natural grass one. The cost will depend on a number of factors including location, size of green, groundwork required, site access for men / materials / machinery and any landscape requirements. Please contact us to discuss your specific requirements. We can give you a budget price, prior to arranging a site visit.  
 
What maintenance is required for an all weather golf green?  
    Around 2 hours maintenance a year keeps your green in perfect condition. We will train you how to do this as part of our initial installation. Alternatively, we are happy to do this maintenance work for you under a maintenance agreement. In addition, you may also need to pick up or brush off any leaves / debris. A leaf blower may be useful on larger greens. Occasionally your green can be rolled with a light garden roller to keep the surface smooth. Rolling makes the green faster, soft brushing slower. You decide!  
 
Where can I install an all weather golf green?  
    Indoor or outdoor - almost anywhere you like! Worldwide they are installed in homes, gardens, golf courses, driving / practice ranges, pitch & putt courses, putting courses and numerous other businesses / commercial sites.  
 
How long does it take to install an all weather golf green?  
    This depends on the size of the green. Typically a day or 2 for the smallest green, to 2 weeks or more for the largest.  
 
Are there any shape or size restrictions for an all weather golf green?  
    No. We will design and install a golf green to suit your available space and budget.  
 
How long will an all weather golf green last?  
    You can have confidence that a SofTrak golf green is built to last. It is a proven system, with over 3500 installations worldwide and is fully guaranteed. Properly maintained, your green should last 15 years and more.

How does an all weather golf green compare to the real thing?  
    A SofTrak green isn't natural grass, but it's the next best thing.The way a ball rolls on it, you simply have to see to believe. The ball will roll true and at an even pace, whether the green is at fast or slow stemp speed. Unlike most artificial surfaces, a SofTrak green will actually hold a shot, just like a natural grass green. When chipping onto the green, the ball will hold up and with backspin you can even make a ball stop or back up. Due to its low maintenance and realistic performance, the SofTrak system is often preferred to natural grass greens at some commercial golf courses.
