  • DIY-Putting green/Hitting matt with Fiberbuilt insert

    I have a TruGolf Vista 10 and decided to go to a Flightscope X3 setup so I needed to move projector to overhead and build a level putting service. Decided to integrate Fiberbuilt hitting tiles (Fairway/Rough/Sand) into the putting green. Area is 10'(w) x 15'(L). I have an additional 8' behind tee for Flightscope placement. Below are pictures of the completed matt along with pictures of all material used.

    Construction consisted of:
    1. 3/4" T&G OSB laid directly over carpet with cutout for Fiberbuilt panels and hole/cup.
    2. 3/4" x 2' x 2' Rubber Tile laid directly on OSB (no glue)
    3. Greenline putting turf laid directly over rubber tile and wrapped down at perimeter and stapled into OSB edge (no Glue) (Also stapled at cutout)
    4. Laid in Fiberbuilt 1'x1' panels (I purchased them individually and set is per my preference)
    5. Cut hole/cup insert to proper depth (1-15/16") and inserted into cutout.

    Extremely pleased with the result. Matt height is 1-15/16" with has given me another 1-3/8" in overhead height from the TruGolf matt. Material was purchased from Home Depot and I bought the Fiberbuilt from Par2Pro. I could have save a couple of dollars and purchased directly from Fiberbuilt, but I liked Par2Pro's website better.

    Looks great. Do you think the putting green will hold up as a stance area? I was thinking about doing something exactly like this but am a little concerned taking full swings on the putting turf will cause wear/rips

      So far I have taken about 100 swings, driver thru wedge and absolutely no signs of wear at all. I don't anticipate any problems. And I am wearing spikeless golf shoes though.

    This looks great! I am actually planning to do this in my 15x22 sim room. I bought 3 panels from fiberbuilt, 2 fairways and 1 rough. The panels came bowed, so I am exchanging them. just going to order 3 fairway panels for now. I saw fiberbuilt also has a shallow hole cup, but they only sell that with their own green mats. I can't wait to complete mine after looking at this.

      I ended up cutting the hole cup in half (from 4" depth to 1-15/16" depth) and it works fine. Another suggestion was to just use 4" PVC pipe or coupling and cut to proper depth, that was going to be my fall back if insert didn't work. Good luck on yours and don't forget to post some pics.
