Default Backyard putting greens

Hi all. Does ANYONE have or know someone here in TV who has a putting green in their yard? I mean one that was done professionally. Reason being that we are not equipped to create one ourselves due to lack of skill, knowhow, etc. It sounds nuts but we have the room and would love to create one.
If you DO know someone, please let me know who it is.
Thanks.

We have a 5 hole putting green in our backyard. It was put in by Pooters. If you would like to see it PM me. We live in Bonita.

Go over to Village Palms Nursery on 466 on right before Rolling Acres Rd.
They have them on display in their garden ctr yard. Really cool. I want one too.

We did major research couple of years ago on synthetic grass after we saw one while visiting in Scotsdale. We've saw quite a few who had Synthetic Turf International of Central Florida build their greens. We've also seen others mentioned in this thread and the degree of craftsmanship and materials used is night and day. We see them at The PGA Show in the corporate Booth every year and they also are resurfacing all the Bocce Courts for The Villages, the best reference around no doubt. I have a card with a website stocf.com and a phone number 352-572-9014.
Regardless, make sure you get Arch approval for any work no matter what and don't pay any money up front to anyone.

Default Love our green

We have a large putting green. It was put in by McGowan Landscaping. If you want to see it we live on the 8th tee on Fort Walton Golf Course at Bonifay. Or, you can PM me if you would like to come over and see it.

Would you mind giving a "ball park" price and size?
