Technological advances in the last 5 years have allowed manufacturersto develop synthetic materials that are now being used regularly toreplace natural grass for putting green purposes. The material used, inaddition to installation advancements have now given rise to syntheticputting greens that are as good if not better than a natural grassproduct. All functionality of natural grass greens have been replicated(including speed, accuracy, shot holding capability and shapingcharacteristics) to the point where several courses around the worldare already replacing natural greens with artificial ones. However – the main area of interest are the savingsachieved through reduced maintenance and water consumption. Imagine ifyou will a green that when being constructed requires minimal drainage,no need whatsoever for irrigation (water or plumbing) and never needsto be mowed, weeded, cored, dragged, seeded or even shut down forre-turfing. A synthetic green will always look in perfect condition, act asrealistic as a natural grass green and has virtually zero ongoingrunning costs. A traditionally accepted model is that syntheticputting greens pay for themselves in as little as 7 years when comparedto natural turf greens (based on normal maintenance costs of running anatural product) and when you factor that they have a lifespan ofbetween 10-15 years, you can see the ROI is quite substantial. For driving range purposes synthetic target greensprovide an inexpensive long term opportunity to boost your image whilstproviding a high class offering for clients. For the same reasonsmentioned above, synthetic target greens offer you a cost saving tothat of natural greens. Made from slightly lesser grades of syntheticmaterial, the target greens "behave" just as a natural grass green,with the same minimised ongoing maintenance costs. To provide the fullest level of reduced maintenance and waterconsumption, a fully synthetic "fairway" grass is available for use ondriving ranges and even golf courses. In much the same way you wouldhave natural grass in the field of play, we can provide for you anoption of completely replacing all natural grass with specificallydesigned synthetic turf. This product once installed would completelyeradicate the need for watering, mowing, irrigation systems, machinery,weeding, spraying, etc… and reduces staffing levels dramatically. Thefairway grass in conjunction with synthetic greens provides animmaculate looking facility, with virtually zero maintenance. Ballcollection can even be automated with careful design and constructionon driving ranges. Driving Range Hitting Turf Enduroturf offers you Enduro Tee, a remarkablenatural feeling and performing hitting surface. Customers can play ashot off a synthetic surface that acts and feel just fairwayconditions. Throughout the USA and Europe, traditional driving rangemats are a thing of the past. A traditional golf mat requires you to hit the ball "off" the surface, which doesn't replicate fairway conditions. Enduro Tee allows customers to hit "through" theball. With our unique sand and rubber filled synthetic system,customers can replicate fairway shots and even take a divot, allwithout the mess and hassle of re-turfing, watering and ugly brownpatches. Enduro Tee allows driving ranges to reduce the spaceneeded for hitting bays, freeing up space for other uses and alsoreduces the overall operating cost through the savings achieved inmaintenance, watering, re-turfing etc...
