Take your time when determining the location and size of your putting green. Some people think that next to the home would be a good location for their putting green. Others feel that a low spot in their yard would be a good location. Actually, these are two of the worst locations to put a putting green. Close to the house is a bad location if you plan to chip and pitch to the green. You could actually spend more time replacing windows than practicing golf. Low spots tend to collect water run-off and should be avoided because it can erode and deteriorate the sub-base.
Choose a spot that is away from the house and does not collect water. It should be fairly level. Find an area that is accessible from other areas of the yard for chipping and pitching. Take an extension cord or rope and lay it in the general shape that you desire for your putting green.
While creating the shape and size of the putting green, you will want to work with widths that are a multiple of 12' or 15' (width of the turfs).
Rolls of turf can be seamed together successfully to create widths of 24 or 36 feet and can be trimmed to any length. As you experiment with various sizes you may find that the size you first considered is too small. It helps to chip and pitch to the marked area from several locations to make sure it suits your needs.Once you have a size and shape you're happy with, mark the area with spray paint. This will serve as a guide for the sub-base. You may even want to leave it for a couple of days to make absolutely sure you are going to be happy with the size.
Now that you have the size and shape, make sure you have all the tools and materials required for the installation process of your new putting green.
