Case Study: Target Green for a Famous Sports Star

Client Overview:
To create a target green for a famous sports star. A globally recognised sports star and passionate golfer wanted to take their at-home practice to the next level. With access to a large field next to their house, they envisioned a custom-built target green that would allow them to work on their wedge play in a realistic, course-like setting.

Objective:
The goal was to install a high-quality, target green measuring approximately 100 yards from the designated teeing area. To enhance the experience, the hole needed well-defined shaping, mounding for visual and playing definition, and challenging features such as grass bunkers to simulate real-course conditions.

Solution:
Golf4Home designed and installed a fully customised target green that not only provided a premium short-game practice facility but also blended seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.

Key Features of the Installation:

Expertly Shaped Green: Our team carefully contoured the green to ensure a natural yet challenging playing surface, designed to receive shots realistically while remaining durable and low-maintenance.
Strategic Mounding: To enhance the visual definition of the hole and create a true golf-course feel, we added mounding around both the green and the fairway. This framing effect makes the hole more aesthetically appealing and simulates the undulations found on championship courses.
Grass Bunkers for Added Challenge: Two well-positioned grass bunkers near the green introduce an extra layer of difficulty, requiring precision in both shot placement and recovery play. These bunkers not only test short-game skills but also add to the overall realism of the hole.
Premium Artificial Turf: We used high-quality artificial grass that delivers a true ball roll and natural feel while requiring minimal maintenance. The surface is designed to withstand all weather conditions, ensuring year-round usability.
Seamless Landscape Integration: The target green was carefully designed to complement the natural surroundings, creating a practice area that feels like an extension of a championship course while maintaining the aesthetics of the property.

Results:

The final installation provided the client with a beautiful target green that allows them to refine their wedge game with complete convenience. The expertly shaped green, mounding, and strategic bunkering have transformed the open field into a challenging yet enjoyable short-game training ground.

Client Feedback:
“The green looks and plays like a real course, and the mounding makes it feel like a proper golf hole. The grass bunkers add a great challenge, and I love having the ability to practise my wedge shots from 100 yards at home. Golf4Home has done a fantastic job!”

Conclusion:
This project highlights Golf4Home’s ability to create custom golf installations that cater to the specific needs of elite athletes.
