A Backyard Like No Other
This summer, Precision Greens took on one of our most ambitious and innovative projects to date—one that has not only set a new benchmark for our company but has also raised the bar for the entire industry. We are thrilled to share the details of a truly one-of-a-kind creation: a 10,000 square-foot private golf facility featuring a full-scale golf green, fringe, two bunkers, a pond, and a tee box—an incredible layout unlike anything ever built in Canada.
A Vision Brought to Life
This project began as a dream for a passionate golf enthusiast who wanted to elevate his at-home experience. He envisioned a private golf course on his property—one that didn’t just replicate the look of a professional course, but also brought the feel and challenge of real-world golfing into his own backyard. To ensure that this goal was met, we brought in PGA Pro Matt Palsenbarg to maximize the results
A 10,000 Square-Foot Masterpiece
The final result is a sprawling 10,000 sq ft facility that blends seamlessly into the natural landscape, creating a stunning visual experience. Every inch of this custom design was meticulously planned and crafted to provide both aesthetic beauty and top-tier functionality.
Here’s a breakdown of the key features:
- The Golf Green
The centerpiece of this private golf paradise is the meticulously crafted golf green, designed to mimic the smooth, true-roll conditions found on professional courses. Every detail was considered—texture, undulation, and speed—to ensure that the green offers a realistic challenge for players of all skill levels. Our team used cutting-edge synthetic turf materials to replicate the performance of natural grass, providing a fast and consistent surface year-round.
- The Fringe
Surrounding the green, we created a fringe area that transitions seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. This carefully designed space offers both aesthetic appeal and functionality, giving golfers the option to chip, pitch, and putt from various angles, just like they would on a real course.
- The Bunkers
Two strategically placed artificial sand bunkers add an element of challenge to the layout. These bunkers were designed not only to visually enhance the course but also to create a real test for golfers. The material was specifically selected for its unique texture, ensuring it behaves like a traditional bunker while remaining low-maintenance for the homeowner.
- The Pond
A serene pond nestled beside the green brings an added layer of beauty and challenge to the project. This feature, complete with natural stone and lush surrounding gardens, enhances the visual appeal while also adding strategic complexity to the course. Golfers now have the option to test their skills with shots over the water, providing a dynamic and ever-changing playing experience.
- The Tee Box
To complete the course, a custom tee box was added, offering players the perfect spot to begin their round. The tee box was designed to flow with the natural landscape and provides a fitting starting point for what is truly a world-class golfing experience in the backyard.
Unmatched Quality and Craftsmanship
What makes this project particularly remarkable is not just its size or scope, but the unparalleled quality of craftsmanship that went into every detail. At Precision Greens, we are known for our ability to deliver the highest quality artificial turf installations, but this project pushed our team to innovate in ways we’ve never done before.
From the custom design to the installation process, we used advanced turf technology and materials that are engineered to withstand Canadian weather conditions. Our turf mimics the look and feel of natural grass, and the result is a landscape that looks and plays like a professional course—without the maintenance hassles of traditional grass.
A Truly Unique Canadian Feature
While high-end golf facilities are not new to the world, what sets this project apart is its sheer scale and sophistication, especially for a private residence in Canada. There is simply nothing like it in the country—a fully integrated golf course experience, featuring all the elements of a professional course, built right on a private estate. This project is not only a testament to the quality and capability of our team but also a reflection of the growing trend towards creating luxury outdoor living spaces that offer the ultimate in recreational enjoyment.
