How much does it cost to build a putting green?
Estimates for Putting Green Construction on a real golf course can go upwards of $60,000 for one green. Fortunately, a backyard green doesn’t have to be as elaborate or large. The Green requires a base layer (for shape), a drainage layer of crushed stone and PVC pipe, a sand layer, and then the root zone layer made up of 12″ of mostly cheap sand and peat. You shouldn’t have to spend more than a few hundred dollars to build a good size (1000 sf) bent grass putting green with delivered materials. Other considerations are a sprinkler system, bunkers and the surrounding area. If you sod the green, you must add in the cost of the sod which is more expensive.
