WHAT MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED FOR DAKOTA PUTTING GREENS SYNTHETIC TURF PRODUCTS?

For golf greens, normal upkeep every 12-18 months is recommended; we will guarantee smooth putts with regular check-ups that include inspecting the areas around the cups for any adjustments and rolling the green.

How do Dakota Putting Greens hold up to the harsh winter conditions of the Dakotas?

Our partners (Southwest Greens) have multiple locations in Canada and other northern regions. Putting greens and other synthetic grass withstand the severe winter conditions well. On several occasions, customers stated they are utilizing putting greens as soon as the snow melts. For optimal performance, we recommend a maintenance after the winter season to redress the putting green and optimize playability.
