Here's what designing your green with us looks like — from the first shape to the final measurements.

Putting green design software: measuring distances on the green in metres

Take your measurements

Measure any distance on the green in feet or metres, and note what each one is for.

Most so-called putting greens in Singapore are flat green carpet,they look the part but roll dead and read nothing. A designed green is a different thing entirely: it has a line to read on every putt, a consistent pace underfoot, and a shape that belongs to your space. It is also the rare craft almost no other installer here offers, and the reason our greens play like the real thing.

Design ideas worth stealing

These are the moves that give a green character and make it play well. Not every green needs all of them. A good design picks the ones that suit your space and your game.

Breaks & borrows

Shaped slopes so putts swing left and right. Reading the break is the whole game — a flat green removes it entirely.

Multi-tier greens

Two or three levels with a ridge between them, so an uphill or downhill putt to a higher shelf tests pace and nerve.

Island & feature greens

A green framed by planting, pebble or water so it reads as a landscaped centrepiece, not just a lawn with a hole.

Chipping fringe

A ring of longer-pile fringe turf around the green so you can chip on as well as putt — a full short-game area, not just a putting mat.

Multiple cups

Several holes at different distances and angles, so you can build a loop and practise a real variety of putts without moving a thing.

The hidden cup

A removable turf-topped plug drops into the hole, so when you are not putting the green reads as a flawless, trip-free lawn.

How a bespoke green is designed

Every green we build starts on paper, not on the turf. The design stage is where the money and the craft go, and it is what you are really paying for.

Read the site
We survey the space — its levels, drainage, sun and sight lines — and work out where a green sits best and how big it can be.
Shape the base
We design and build the sub-base with the breaks, tiers and borrows drawn in, then compact and level it precisely. This is where the roll is made or lost.
Tune the speed
Pile, infill and rolling are set to give the green speed you want — quick and slick, or a gentler pace — consistent across the whole surface.
Set cups, fringe & flags
Regulation flush cups go in dead level, a shaped fringe collar frames the green, and flags finish it. A hidden-cup plug is added if you want the lawn look.

Anyone can lay flat turf. Designing a green that reads and rolls is the part that takes twenty years of doing it — and it is the part almost no one else offers.

In-house design software

Design and analyse your green before we build it

We're the only team here that designs on our own software. Shape the outline, place the cups and fringe, then analyse the breaks, slopes and green speed on screen — so you see exactly how your green will read and roll before a single roll of turf goes down.

Open the green designer

Shape the design

Draw the outline, tiers and fringe, and drop in cups exactly where you want them.

Analyse break & speed

See the slopes, borrows and green speed mapped out, so every putt has a line to read.

Preview before you build

Review the finished layout and adjust it with us before we shape a single base.

Where a putting green can go

Part of the design job is fitting a green to the space you have. We have shaped them into all of these:

Gardens & landed homes. The classic — a private green with real breaks and a chipping fringe, tucked into a corner or run across a lawn.

Rooftops & sky terraces. Built on a proper draining base over the slab, a rooftop green turns dead space into a short-game area with a view — some of our most striking greens are up high.

Balconies & compact spaces. Even a few square metres can hold a one-hole green with a break to read; the design just works harder in a small footprint.

Clubs & practice areas. Durable, low-maintenance greens that take constant play, shaped to mimic the speed and contour of the course.

Common questions

How much space do you need for a home putting green?

There is no minimum. We have shaped useful greens into a corner of a few square metres and full multi-hole greens across a garden or rooftop. A good designer works a break, a fringe and at least one cup into whatever space you have, so even a small green plays properly.

What makes a putting green design good rather than just flat turf?

A designed green has shaped contours, tiers and borrows so every putt has a line to read, a fringe collar around it, and a base tuned to a consistent green speed. Flat green carpet has none of that — it looks like a green but does not play like one.

Can you build a putting green on a rooftop or balcony?

Yes. We build free-draining greens on rooftops, sky terraces and balconies over a proper base and drainage layer, shaped to the load and levels of a high-rise slab. Many of our most striking greens are on rooftops with a view.

Can a putting green double as normal lawn when nobody is putting?

Yes. We can finish the cup with a removable turf-topped plug so the hole disappears and the green reads as a flawless stretch of lawn — safe for the kids or a party — then lift out to putt in seconds.
