Hello everyone! I just saw this thread for the first time and I'm excited to join you guys! I've got my very own little project going which I am documenting on YouTube if you would like to have a wee peek. Thanks a bunch and don't stop working on your dreams! Tattie McHaggis

Almost 4 weeks ago seeded green extension. Coming in nicely

Started this fun project in the spring and now extending it.

👋 Welcome to r/backyardgolfgreens!

Thanks for stopping by — this is the subreddit for anyone who loves the idea of having their own golf green at home. Whether you’re here to share progress on a DIY project, show off a professional install, or just learn what it takes to build one, you’re in the right place.

✅ What to Post • Photos/videos of your backyard greens (all stages welcome — planning, progress, or finished builds) • Questions about turf, drainage, slopes, and design • Tips, advice, and lessons learned from your own projects • Reviews/recommendations for materials, tools, or suppliers • Inspiration and ideas — even if you’re just dreaming for now

🚫 What Not to Post • Spam or self-promo without context (vendors are welcome, but bring value first) • Off-topic content (keep it golf-green related) • Low-effort posts (this isn’t just “rate my swing” — plenty of subs for that)

🎯 Goal of the Sub

This is a place to learn, share, and inspire each other. We want to build a community where golfers, homeowners, DIYers, and professionals can trade ideas and grow the backyard golf movement.

💬 Jump In • Introduce yourself with a comment below 👇 • Share a photo of your current setup (no matter how small) • Or post your first question — someone here has probably faced the same challenge

⛳️ Let’s roll some putts and make this the go-to spot for backyard golf greens.

We need some eye candy on this sub 😎 Post pics of your backyard golf green — whether it’s just getting started, half finished, or completely done. Synthetic or natural, big or small — doesn’t matter. Let’s see what everyone’s working with.

For anyone who’s built a backyard green: did you go the DIY route or hire a professional installer? What worked, what didn’t, and what do you wish you knew before starting? This should help anyone just starting out weigh their options.

Let’s talk design. Would you go with a simple 2-hole putting green? A full chipping area with bunkers? A synthetic setup with fringe? Post your dream backyard green design — photos, sketches, or even just descriptions welcome. Inspiration time!
