ALL ABOUT PUTTING GREEN COMPLEXS
Being part of the Celebrity Greens exclusive network of certified installers, we know golf and its our passion to provide all the aspects for a green complex. Green complex’s are as they sound. Complicated. The design must take into account all the variable to offer the same variations of putting and chipping that one experiences on the course. Complex’s typically start around 1,000 or more square feet of putting green space in order to include much of the varied undulations from uphill shots, downhill shots, to your left to rights and right to lefts. Complex’s include various distances and angles for chipping onto the green that maximize practice and the fun experience so that games can be formed and played right at your home. Complex’s are given a major aesthetic pop with a Pebble Beach white sand bunker designed in a way to highlight the main green. And if there is space, target greens for distance practice really enhances the experience.
