Putting them together is fairly easy and they are indoor/outdoor so if you keep them inside they should last for a real long time.
Compared to the other options available, I believe that the Turf Tiles have the truest roll. The sand filled greens and the higher dollar greens with the large black plastic border do not roll as well as the Turf Tiles. I also like the fringe tiles to practice chipping which most of the other options do not provide or come at greater expense.
Turf Tiles hole tiles do not have a deep hole so you have to be relatively precise with your speed or it will pop out of the hole. This may be a downside to some, but I found the challenge to be a plus as it really makes you work on your speed.
If I had a basement or spare room, I would have had a set of these two years ago. As it is, I am constantly trying to find a way to work them into the house or yard in a semi permanent setup as I know I am too lazy to dismantle them after a putting session. |
Tim, how are the speeds on these things? Is it realistic or like putting on concrete?
