A High-Traffic Putting Green Replacement at Marietta Golf Center
At Southwest Greens of Atlanta, we build surfaces that perform under real pressure. This project at Marietta Golf Center in Marietta, Georgia is a good example of what that looks like in practice. With more than 100 golfers coming through every day, the facility needed a practice green that could take that kind of daily volume and still deliver a consistent, tour-quality experience from open to close. Thats exactly what we built.
Project Details:
- 1,445 sq ft putting surface GB177 Golden Bear Putt, color 301 American Olive
- 2,010 sq ft total including fringe
- Existing fringe brushed and resanded
- Base smoothed and undulations reconfigured for updated interest
- No fixed holes targets and pins are fully movable for unlimited practice shot variety
- Replacement of previous practice green at an active commercial facility
Before we ever laid a blade of turf, we got the foundation right. We smoothed the base and reconfigured the undulations, not just putting back what was there before, but improving on it to give the green more character and make it a more effective practice tool. We also brushed out and resanded the existing fringe rather than replacing it, keeping the transition crisp and consistent with the new putting surface.
For the putting surface itself, we specified GB177 Golden Bear Putt in color 301 American Olive. Its a surface we trust for high-use commercial applications because it delivers the consistent pace and true roll that golfers expect, day in and day out regardless of how much traffic it sees.
One feature the facility specifically wanted was flexibility. By skipping fixed cup locations entirely, Marietta Golf Center can reposition targets and pins anywhere on the green at any time. That keeps the practice experience fresh, eliminates wear patterns around permanent holes, and gives every golfer a different look every visit.
