How to mark the edges of a golf green?

Seed or sod your green. Sodding often results in an uneven green, so seed instead if you have the time and patience to care for the grass until it matures. The variety of grass you will use for your green will largely depend on your climate.

How to keep grass from drowning in rain?

Cover the area with a 4-inch (10 cm) layer of pea gravel.

Add 2 inches (5 cm) of sand on top of the gravel and compact it.

I'm looking to build a floating green for the pond at my house. I'm not sure if anyone has seen these before but I've included a link for a company that makes them. http://www.aquagreens.com/products/target-greens/

I did extensive research on artificial putting surfaces for my last house, and will have one installed at my next.

I like the idea. Sounds like fun. If it were me, I would build it 6-8' radius. Depending on your distance, that would be tough to hit if it was only 6-8' diameter. I would build a square platform with treated lumber, cover with plywood and then your artificial grass.

I decided to go ahead and build a floating green like I had originally planned. The green measures 4' x 6'. I built the frame out of 2x4's, used plywood for the deck and trimmed it out with 1x4's. I put a layer of 3" visco elastic foam sealed in 6 mil plastic sheeting.

We do a similar thing at our member guest. Float a Mr Turtle pool and 10 bucks get you 3 balls. 90 yard shot down hill off the patio. I was the only guy to hole out one year and won $280 bucks or so

Pretty cool! Question though, why did you not use treated lumber? Was it b/c you planned on it actually being out of the water sitting up high like that?

I dig it. And with the memory foam topper, you could take a nap on the pond too. I think I'd want a lot more than 100 balls though; that would be a hard game to quit.

How big of a land do you need to build a putting green?

No surprise here. If you want a putting green, you’ll need a place to put it. It doesn’t have to be an enormous plot of land — around 1,000 square feet is a manageable size that will still give you plenty of room to roll your rock — but it should be in a place that gets a reasonable amount of sunlight and doesn’t feature any severely steep slopes. “I don’t recommend trying to build one of these things into the side of a hill,” Werline says.

How long does it take for a green plant to grow?

Growing in a green requires care and attention. You’ll need to fertilize, and water regularly. After about eight weeks, Werline says, you should have something you can putt on, though three to four months is a more realistic timeline to get your green in tip-top shape.
