Golfers looking to get realistic indoor putting practice at home. The Patented RollTech Foam putting green mimics a natural putting green in remarkable ways and is by far the best green on the market if you are looking for realistic putting practice at an affordable price. The realistic grain and spongy sub-base offers the truest and most consistent roll, and continues to wow discerning golfers. The tradeoff of having a putting green at home that mimics a natural putting green so well does have one drawback, which is that it needs to be treated like a natural putting green in order to not get damaged, and can only be used indoors. Anything that would damage a natural putting green, like high heels or dog claws, will also damage the RollTech Foam Putting Greens. The RollTech greens will last for years (even indefinitely) if treated with care. We also do have ways to repair your green if damage does occur.

If you are looking for a putting mat that is suitable to be used outside or in high traffic areas, then the Tour Grade Turf is the one for you. If you have pets or small children, the turf is also a great solution for these households. While the turf does not roll quite as smoothly as the RollTech Foam Greens, these do still have remarkable consistent roll in terms of a turf surface. We source the highest quality and tightest weave/shortest turf pile, with a nice thick backing to recreate a natural putting green's grass structure. Our turf is better than the competitor's turf and is specially made for our portable putting greens.

The Tour Grade Turf Putting Mats can be used both indoors and outdoors. They are made out of a high quality turf material that can withstand the elements. Please note that the outdoor option does not have a grain, or as true a roll as our famous state-of-the-art RollTech Indoor Putting Mats. With that said, we wanted to offer a viable solution for use outdoors, and also for high-traffic situations that need a more durable alternative to our standard indoor putting mats. If you need an awesome and durable putting surface that can be used outdoors in the elements, the Turf Putting Green is right for you.

If your priority is to get meaningful practice on the most realistic putting surface possible, you will want to stick with one of our RollTech Foam indoor mats, as you cannot beat the true roll and grain feature on our indoor surfaces.

The RollTech Foam Putting Green can be fully customized, including the the size and hole placement, and you can even get your logo printed right on your putting mat and/or the flag pins!

The Turf Putting Green cannot be customized with your logo on the surface, but you can get your logo printed on the flag pins!

Yes! Both models will come with the following accessories:

• Drop-in Cups and Extraction Flags
• An extra High-Back Cup (to practice firm putts)
• Heavy Rubber Bumpers
• 1 Hole Reducer Insert - make the hole 2.5" in diameter to challenge your aim
• Multi Purpose Hole Deepening Shim - make the hole a full 1" deep with this shim, or place it under the green to create different breaks or contours
• Hole Plugs

Our RollTech Foam putting greens are made out of a proprietary aerated polymer (a super- fancy dense foam material), that we treat the surface of in order to draw out the grain. The material is ½" thick, so the ball will drop into the hole without being on a raised platform, and no contrived ramp is needed.

Our RollTech Foam indoor putting mats boast the most realistic putting surface on the market. We engineer the surface to mimic the grain of a real putting green. Each green is manufactured with a grain, so that you can practice putting both down grain and into the grain on the same putting mat.

Simply put, we use foam because it’s the only material we have found that mimics the spongy feel and true roll of a natural putting surface. We believe that you should practice on a surface that closely replicates a natural putting green. Accurate feedback is essential when it comes to putting practice.

Competitor greens may look like a putting green, but they do not perform like a natural putting green. Our quest for a true-rolling surface is what led to the development of the patented RollTech Foam putting green, and the decision to use an aerated foam technology. One common misconception is that we use foam because it’s cheap. This is simply not the case. We prioritize accuracy and feel above all else. The truth of the matter is that artificial greens made out of a woven synthetic material simply do not mimic the roll or feel of a natural putting surface.

The RollTech Foam Putting Mats come in two depths: The Classic Depth is 1/2" thick and portable. The Double Depth is 1" thick and cannot be rolled up once it is assembled. The only advantage of the Double Depth is the depth of the hole. If you will need to roll up your green and store it, then go with the Classic 1/2".

Click here for a more in depth look at the two options, to help you decide.

With normal use and proper care, the green will last several years. Be mindful of exposure to direct sunlight, dog/cat claws, and metal golf spikes/high heels. The RollTech greens are not intended for use outside, and if left outside for an extended period of time, the exposure to UV rays will warp the material and create unwanted waves.

If you are handy, you can purchase two separate 4’ wide putting greens and opt to seam them together. Order two 4' greens of the same length, and let us know in the order comments that you intend to seam the greens together. We also recommend purchasing a hole cutter so that you can cut the holes once the two greens have been seamed.

*Note: We do not recommend seaming more than two putting greens together, so the max width we recommend is 8' wide. When there are more than one seam, the seams fight with eachother as the green is used, and this can cause unwanted bubbling in the material to occur.

No. BirdieBall RollTech Foam putting greens are engineered for indoor use only. Mainly because the sun can damage the material. We do have an outdoor option available that is made out of a traditional turf material.

The putting greens perform best on hard, firm surfaces such as hardwood, concrete, and tile floors. The putting greens can be used on carpet, as long as the carpet is tightly woven and does not have a thick carpet pad underneath (something like a Berber or office carpet would be ok). The greens will have a softer feel under your feet if used on top of carpeting that has a plush carpet pad, and is not tightly woven. If plush carpet is your only option, we have had many customers place something firm between their putting surface and the carpet (such as plywood, or rubber tiles that snap together) to make the green perfectly functional in that application.

The “fuzzy” or grass-like side should be up, while the shiny side should be underneath. The fuzzy side is on the outside of the roll when you receive the green in the box. When rolling the green up for storage, keep the “fuzzy” side facing out. This will make the mat lay down flat faster after storage.

The putting green has a grain. The nubs of “grass” are angled one direction toward one of the ends. You can determine which way the nubs of grass are leaning by rubbing your hand toward each end. The green will feel smooth when running your hand down grain, and will feel rough when running your hand against the grain. Using a stiff broom or our stimp maintenance brush, sweep into the grain to slow the mat down, and sweep down grain to speed the mat up. This process will also serve to clean debris off the green and keep the grain refreshed.

Breaks can be made easily. For an added challenge, try our Contour Shim Package which includes multiple hole reducers and enhanced breaking shims. You can also get creative with household items. For gentle breaks, slide a magazine, newspaper, or towel under the green. For more pronounced breaks add layers as needed. Try not to walk in the areas where the shims are placed, to avoid damaging the green.

Cups are installed from the bottom of the green. The cups have a flange on the bottom to secure them in place. The flag pin + flag base installs from the top. Line up the 4 holes on the flag base with the 4 holes on the cup. The flag base actually helps the golf ball stay in the hole by dampening and absorbing the energy of the golf ball. Shorter flags are available if you would like a more stable flag in the cup. Also, flag bases can be used without the flagstick with the same ball dampening effect. Using the base only will make your usable putting area larger, as you can stand directly over the cups and base without any interference from the flag.

The black rubber bumpers snap onto the end/edges of the green. Locate the internal retention teeth, and orient the teeth to snap onto the end/edge of the putting green. There are two openings on the bumper. The second opening points upward when installed properly. When installed properly, the bumper will have a raised lip that stops a golf ball from rolling off the green. In high traffic areas, bumpers can be taped on from the under-side of the green using duct tape. This will help with bumpers and trim being kicked off if necessary.

A hole reducer insert will be included with every putting green. This is a donut shaped hole cut-out that can be placed inside any hole on your putting mat to reduce the hole size from 4.25” in diameter to 2.5” in diameter. The hole reduction insert can be placed either in the hole with the cup, or insert into the hole without the cup. If the insert is loose, pull lightly on the outside diameter slightly to make it more snug.

You will receive a hole deepening shim with the purchase of either putting greens. Simply line up the hole on the shim with any existing hole on your putting green. Locate the shim underneath the desired hole on your putting surface, and use the high-back cup to align and keep in place. This will increase the depth of the hole to a full 1” deep.

1. Use the High-Back Cup. A High-Back Cup is included with every RollTech Classic Depth Putting Green, and every Indoor/Outdoor Turf Putting Green (with the exception of ShufflePutt and BirdiePong). The high-back cup has a raised lip at the back of the cup, and is provided to practice firmer putts.

2. If you prefer to use your putting mat without the flag sticks, then disassemble the flag stick from the flag base, and utilize the just the flag base in conjunction with the cup. The base will help to dampen the ball when you make a putt.

3. Use the Hole-Deepening Shim. 1/2" Deep Putting Mats (both the RollTech Foam and the Turf Putting Mats) come with a 12" hole deepening shim. Use this shim with your high-back cup under one hole at a time, and this will make that hole a full 1" thick and will stop the ball from hopping out!

Yes! The greens are engineered to be stood on/walked on. Feel free to stand/walk on your green with bare feet, normal athletic shoes, flat soled shoes, or spike-less golf shoes (with no twisting). High heels and other sharp objects will damage the surface. Other than that, have at it! You will notice that your footprints will be visible in the putting surface, just like on a real putting green. Your footprints will disappear very quickly, and right before your eyes. You would not walk in someone's line on a putting green on the golf course, and the same is true for our RollTech greens!

Footprints on the green will be visible, and then quickly disappear. This phenomenon speaks to the accuracy of the green. On a real putting surface, you need to be mindful about walking through a fellow golfer’s line since your foot prints could affect the roll of that golfer’s putt. The BirdieBall greens will behave the same way. Watch your footprint materialize and then quickly disappear!

Do not chip off of the RollTech Foam Indoor putting green with an iron. This will most likely cause a divot in the material (just like it would on a natural putting green). You can however, chip onto the green from a chipping mat, and then finish putting out. If you want to be able to chip off of the putting green, check out our Indoor/Outdoor Tour Grade Turf mat!

The RollTech Foam mats have been engineered to be portable. They will get flatter and flatter as the greens are used and walked on, but the result of them getting flatter over time means that they stretch slightly. This is not noticeable in normal circumstances, however the slight stretching can cause the holes to move and not line up perfectly with the deeper holes on a platform. Stretching is also something to be aware of, if you have built a frame around the putting green. Always leave around 1" of space around all sides of the mat to allow the green to stretch and settle.

In general, it’s a good idea to treat your indoor putting green with the same care as a natural green on the golf course. Imagine things you would not do on a natural putting surface: walk in someone’s line, take a chip shot, walk in high heels, etc. These are the same sorts of things that will damage your indoor putting surface. The same things that will take a divot out of a natural green will damage your BirdieBall Indoor putting mat.

When treated with care, your BirdieBall mat will last for years!

Heat, intense sunlight and pointed objects are basically the three enemies of the RollTech Foam putting mat. The mat should not be used in direct sunlight, as the green absorbs heat. Excessive sunlight (even indoors) can heat the green. This heating effect can elongate the green creating a wave or bubble. High heels should not be worn on the green. Spike-less golf shoes can be worn with zero twisting or dragging of the soft spikes on the green. Never hit an iron off of the green. Use a turf when chipping onto the green. Beware of dog and cat claws.

The best way to keep your green clean is to brush with a stiff broom to remove any loose debris. To remove dirt, spot clean with mild soap and water. Do not vacuum the green. The rotating drum on many vacuums can tear up the surface.

Yes. We have “fill” material which can be mixed with water and inserted into damaged areas on the putting surface. The fill material is free and available in the Putting Green Accessories section of the website (you just have to pay a little shipping).

To store the green, remove any bumpers from the sides of the green. End bumpers can be left on for storage. Remove the cups and flags. Flip the putting surface over prior to rolling up so that the fuzzy putting surface is on the outside of the roll. Do not store anything on top of the rolled up surface. The cardboard shipping box is a handy thing to save for storage. Storage bags are also available.

You will receive two pieces of ½” thick material (one piece is the putting surface, and the second piece is the sub-base). You will also receive the components to assemble your green once you receive it. We cut the sub-base piece slightly longer than the top putting surface to ensure they will fit properly after transit. You can easily trim the base (with a simple box cutter or similar knife) to the perfect size once assembled. Please review the Double Depth instructional videos for instructions on this semi-permanent assembly.

*Please note that all the Double Depth greens come with no holes pre-cut. A hole cutter is included with the purchase of the double depth green so that you can cut the holes where you would like them after you have adhered the sub-base to the putting surface. We have replaced the spray adhesive with double-sided tape in this process.

Yes, and it is easy to do! If you would like to convert your Classic green to the Double Depth model, send us an email (questions@birdieball.com), and we can send you the necessary info and pricing. The benefit of this is to increase the depth of the hole to 1” deep for a more realistic drop-in feel. 

Please upload your art file in a jpeg or png format. While you are only able to upload those two specific file types, we will reach out to you via email after your order has been placed to see if you have a vector format available to ensure the best print quality (.eps or .ai preferred). Once your order is placed, we will follow up with a proof and alert you if your artwork will produce a low quality print or if we feel we need a different file type.

The custom logo greens take a little longer in production, so please allow up to 2 weeks for delivery. If you need your order expedited, let us know and we can provide an expedited shipping quote and timeline. Email us if this is the case (questions@birdieball.com), and we’d be happy to work with your in-hands date if possible.

Yes! We will email you a proof of your custom logo green and/or custom logo flags before we send the order to production. This helps to ensure we received the correct art file and that you are happy with the placement and overall look before we send it to the printer. You can expect a proof within 1-2 business days from when the order is placed.

We have sourced the best turf available for this product offering. Not all turf is created equal, and ours is the best of the best. Boasting an ultra-tight weave and heavy face weight, along with a premium thick-backing. In addition, the accessories we include with all of our putting greens cannot be beat.

No, the stimp/speed of the turf putting greens are all the same stimp, and run at about 10-11 on the stimp meter.

Yes, the Turf Putting Mats are designed to be able to withstand the elements. Just be aware of reflective surfaces near the putting mat. The artificial grass melting point is 180 degrees. Reflective surfaces, like windows and steel cookware, can create a temperature that artificial grass cannot withstand. If you have windows that are at risk of reflecting onto the putting green, it is advised to cover the green when not in use or roll the green up when not in use to prevent the turf from melting due to the extreme reflective heat. Be advised that melting prevention is the buyer's responsibility. 

You can vacuum the Turf Putting Mats! Or use a stiff broom to brush debris off of the Putting Green.

Please Note: The RollTech Foam Putting Mat should not be vacuumed.
