Golf Course & Driving Range Artificial Turf Installation in Long Island & NYC
Running a golf facility means your turf takes a beating every single day. Between foot traffic on the tee line, divots from a thousand practice swings, and Long Island weather that swings from summer heat to winter freeze, natural grass on a driving range or practice green rarely holds up for long. That’s why golf course owners, driving range operators, and private club managers across Nassau County, Suffolk County, Queens, Brooklyn, and Westchester County are switching to golf course artificial turf installation that’s built to take the abuse and still look sharp.
Artificial Turf NY has been designing, supplying, and installing synthetic turf systems since 2010, with more than 500 completed projects and 15 years of hands-on experience behind every install. We handle everything from a single backyard putting green to a full commercial driving range, tee line, and practice facility.
Why Golf Facilities Are Moving Away From Natural Grass
Anyone who has managed a driving range knows the maintenance grind: reseeding worn tee lines every few weeks, watering greens through a heat wave, and closing sections of the range just to let the grass recover. Synthetic turf for golf courses removes most of that cycle. There’s no reseeding, no dead patches from overuse, and no rainouts that turn a fairway into mud. For a facility that depends on daily paying customers, that kind of consistency has a direct effect on revenue.
A well-built artificial turf system for golf courses also gives you a truer, more predictable playing surface. Ball roll on a synthetic putting green stays consistent day after day, which matters just as much to a backyard golfer as it does to a member at a private club. You can read more about how we approach commercial artificial turf installation for property owners who need a surface that performs under heavy, repeated use.
Golf Course & Driving Range Turf Services
We install synthetic turf for every part of a golf facility, not just the greens. Depending on your layout, a single project can combine several turf systems built for different jobs:
Tee lines and hitting turf for driving ranges, built to hold up under thousands of swings without matting down
Putting greens with custom contours, breaks, and cup placement, for both backyard setups and full commercial putting greens
Chipping areas, fringe, and rough that blend different pile heights so short-game practice feels realistic
Golf practice and training facilities, including indoor setups for year-round play
Fairway-style turf for practice areas and short course applications
If you’re planning a private backyard setup rather than a commercial facility, our backyard putting greens page walks through what a residential install looks like.
Driving Range Tee Line & Hitting Turf
Tee line turf takes more abuse than almost any other surface on a golf property. Every session means dozens of divots in the same few square feet, which is exactly why a standard landscaping product won’t cut it here. We install driving range turf systems with denser, more durable fibers and a base built to handle repeated impact without shifting or wearing thin. The goal is a hitting surface that still feels right after thousands of swings, not just on installation day.
We also plan tee line drainage carefully. A range that floods after a storm loses paying customers, so proper base prep and drainage planning go into every driving range install we do.
Golf Practice Facility & Training Area Turf
Whether you’re building a dedicated short-game area, a full practice facility, or an indoor training space, the turf needs to match how the space gets used. Chipping areas need a different feel than a putting surface, and fringe or rough sections should transition naturally instead of looking like a patchwork. We map out each zone during the site visit and recommend the right product for each one, so the whole facility plays consistently from the fairway edge to the cup. Our sports and training turf page covers similar high-use applications if you’re comparing options beyond golf.
How the Installation Process Works
Every project starts with a call to our project manager to talk through what you’re building and schedule an in-person site visit. We measure the space, review soil and drainage conditions, and recommend a turf product based on how the area will actually be used, whether that’s a low-traffic backyard green or a commercial range that sees hundreds of swings a day.
From there, installation typically follows this sequence:
Removal of existing grass, turf, or surface material
Excavation and grading to the correct depth
Base preparation and compaction
Drainage planning and installation
Turf placement, seaming, and edge work
Infill application specific to the surface type
Brushing and grooming for final texture
Final walkthrough with you before we call the job done
Most residential installs take one to two business days once we’re on site, though larger commercial and driving range projects vary depending on square footage and site conditions. We also provide a detailed written contract up front so you know exactly what’s included before work begins. Projects are scheduled first come, first served, so booking your site visit early helps lock in your spot.
Pricing and Free Estimates
Golf turf pricing depends on a lot of moving parts: the size of the area, product selection, base depth, drainage needs, access to the site, and whether we’re removing existing material first. Because every property is different, we don’t publish flat pricing. What we can tell you is that estimates and consultations are always free, and there’s no minimum project size to work with us. Bring us your measurements and we’ll put together an accurate quote, valid for 30 days, with a straightforward deposit to get started.

Cost depends on square footage, product type, base preparation, and drainage needs, so every quote is built around your specific site. Estimates are always free, and there’s no project minimum.
How long does a driving range turf installation take?
Smaller residential putting greens typically take one to two business days. Larger commercial driving ranges and practice facilities take longer, depending on total square footage and site conditions, and we’ll give you a clear timeline during your consultation.
