The putting surface consists of interlocking astro grass tiles that connect together like jigsaw pieces. This means you can build any size and shape of putting surface you want, from a three-tile mini-putt to a 12-tile monster challenge! Here’s a short video that demonstrates how a course is put together.

Along the edges of the astro grass tiles are foam edge bumpers that attach with Velcro. They keep the ball in play – and for corporate or charity customers, they’re a good marketing opportunity because we can add branding to them. This includes logos, URLs, hashtags and other insignia that help to get the message out when the course in in use.

Our standard obstacles are injection moulded plastic. They come in a set where each obstacle offers a different challenge. They are highly playable and lots of fun to beat! You can put the obstacles where you like on the course to make it as easy or as fiendish as you see fit.

It takes about 30 minutes for one person to set up one of our 9-hole courses, and about the same to pack it away again. Each course comes with putting cups, marker flags or cones, putters in your chosen size, balls, scorecards and pencils.

A course can be laid out on any reasonably flat surface. We say ‘reasonably’ because a few ups and downs can add to the entertainment value. But it needs to be flat enough that the interlocking tiles stay together and don’t make ridges. The tiles are flexible, so there’s enough give in them to follow the contours of a gently undulating surface. Rutted fields? Maybe not. But our courses work perfectly in:

• school fields
• football/rugby sports fields
• back gardens
• indoors on office floors
• community centre halls
• village halls
• car parks
• gym floors (our courses are rubber backed and won't damage the floor)
• hotel lobbies
• hotel function rooms
• pub lounges
• shopping centre arcades.

The only surface we have ever had a real problem with is a 'meadow'. Farmers' fields and meadows tend to be quite rough and rutted. Normal school and sports fields are usually pretty good, especially if recently mown.

It doesn’t affect the course. The astro grass tiles have lots of drainage holes and water runs through them. As soon as it stops raining, play can continue.

No. The tiles are rubber-backed and don’t leave any marks on hotel dance floors, school gyms, laminated floors etc.

To further avoid indoor damage we supply low bounce golf balls for outdoors use and softer foam golf balls for use indoors.

As big as you make it. Each tile is 1 square metre. A typical hole is made up of 2,3,4 or 5 tiles. On our 9-hole course, for example, a small hole is 3 square metres and a large hole is 5 square metres.

The great thing about this flexible system is that it can be designed to fit into almost any indoor or outdoor space, and the shape can fit the available space.

Unless we deliver it to you ourselves in a Putterfingers van, the equipment comes in large boxes on a pallet. With different sized courses, the only things that change are the height and the weight. More tiles and putters result in a taller pallet. The only exception is the Bitesize course, which is delivered in two boxes by a courier.
