Song ruined it

[@DArynBDeMoss]

I’ve watched this video an incredible amount of times. And it never gets old

[@chosen1one930]

Yea....until you watch a backyard course with real grass...it's far cheaper by a long shot, ball rolls even better and it's the real thing, no hitting from mats which gives you more spin.

[@inb4230]

@@chosen1one930.just STUPID assessment after stupid assessment. This is a BACKYARD PRACTICE AREA piss stain, if you think you just throw grass seeds to the ground and automatically you have a green you're absolutely out of your rocker. Were do I start..if you go natural grass, you'll still need to open the ground, put piping in for drainage, lots of layers of sand compacted between layers, then you plant the grass and wait months for it to be nice, then you need to sand it DOZENS of times with hundreds of pounds of sand until you have a good rolling green, obviously after you have purchased a specific mower with height adjustment and a roller but that's just 60,70k,a dedicated irrigation system that will reach the green and the tee box, then spend a couple hours every day taking care of it cutting, sanding, rolling and praying you'll have no infestations so you can have a few practice rounds before the winter comes along and fcks up all the work you've done over summer,assuming you still have any grass left on the tee box because 100 swings a day that shit goes fast. All this to say that a real green if you're not either a millionaire or retired is STUPID,something like this is pristine all year round, zero maintenance, always looking good,no water required, will look exactly the same in 15 years as it looks now. You've got NO CLUE about what it takes to maintain a real grass green, of course I've read all your comments so you clearly think you do, your just one of those "I don't have a clue about the subject at hand but I'll have to disagree " kind of guy

[@freerdr763]

My goodness man, you're multi-talented. That swing looks like a swing of a player who's been playing for many years. Gorgeous swing

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Truly amazing. Well done!

Cheers!

[@MikeL-vu7jo]

Very Nice

[@Whiteslopes]

The green looks really receptive to shots. I have 75 yards to work with for shots in my backyard and would like it to be someone receptive and still have a good roll for putting and chipping. What product would you recommend to install? Installers in Buffalo have told me you can't have the best of both worlds, (receptive and a smooth roll) but I'm gonna try. Thank you for the advice.

[@jbkaner]

Again. Looks awesome Jeff,I’m sure it’s very rewarding for you to create such an incredible backyard course for,no doubt another satisfied customer!

[@Ikesturf]

Appreciate it! Yes, it is satisfying to see it all come together - it was a pretty cool project to be able to complete. Thanks!

[@adamgsufc]

That looks class. I Wish I had the land to build a par 3😭 If I was the owner I would have had more tee boxers built in different locations and yardages around the green

[@holman4343]

Adam Gray same bro, I’ve always said I’d build a long par 5 with multiple tee boxes in different locations to create a 3, 4, and a 5.

[@adamgsufc]

Pff my backyard is 15th of a local private club that I am not a member of lol. Good for you man. Enjoyed the video.

[@Ikesturf]

Cheers!

[@glenngriggs6445]

All i want to know is how much do i have to pay

[@overnightclassic2]

Probably 100K

[@megwich]

Wow, loving this - think i would have modelled the green around my favourite courses - 17th at Sawgrass perhaps

[@Ikesturf]

Thanks!

[@cranium33333]

That much land go Par 4!! What an awesome design and layout though! I would never get anything done!🤣😂

[@Ikesturf]

Thanks - appreciate it!

[@OZZIEphotographyinc]

Congratulations on the landscaping and build! Looks awesome. Would appreciate if the Ikes Turf Team could help me with 3 questions! 1. How long was the construction of the green & tee off? inc: excavation, drainage, sand (ordering/ delivery), lawn etc - to the moment you tee off in the video. 2. What material is the green & rough. Is it astro-turf? 3. What are the benefits in using seeded grasses vs. astro-turf styled grasses in maintenance (not gameplay). Does it drain water or have any other beneficial features? Thanks again.

[@ericwang6941]

I guess the biggest benefit would be low maintenance? But not sure how he solved for drainage problems of the bunker tho. I just saw an imperious membrane below the sand. Any idea?

[@Ikesturf]

Oliver, I was having responding issues. Email me with your questions if you would like.. [e-mail]

[@suaragitar]

What a great work mate! on top of that you're a very good golfer too. I guess you know what you're talking about :) great stuff

So jealous!!

[@AndrewConnComedy]

I wish he would have told us what something like that cost

[@DArynBDeMoss]

About tree fiddy

[@lhaynes99]

My first thought, too. If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

[@a1sauce559]

lucky... (Napoleon Dynamite envy) All you need is a halfway house/bathroom bc if I were you, I would never leave

[@johncanario4015]

Drools... Any DIY options for a simple green in a residential backyard?

[@Ikesturf]

There are lots of DIY videos out there. You should have some construction experience and decent skill set. It takes time to become a good installer, let alone great.

[@erickeefe1504]

Wonder how much something like that cost

[@pdubs7069]

Well, that is fuckin awesome!! Nice job!!

[@Ikesturf]

Thanks!!

[@chucklatour1208]

What about snow, cold weather etc. How does than impact the life and maintenance of the turf.

[@Ikesturf]

The synthetic turf is engineered to withstand the heat/cold of the environmental stresses. Along with our installation techniques, the products up quite well and performs well years after installation. If the turf is maintained well, it will last 20+ years..

[@lewisthegamer9464]

How much does this cost

[@AGTsakumis]

That's amazing work! As a builder, I salute you. Now....WHERE did that song come from? Outstanding!

[@Ikesturf]

Thanks Alex! The song was picked from one of those licensing sites. Like the tune.. seemed to fit. Cheers!

[@mariovaldez6985]

Green side up looking to put a par three on a pound. Can it be done?

[@Ikesturf]

Anything is possible! Just needs to be built properly.

[@thiagobartolo]

What was the total cost for this project?

[@allisonkelsey4317]

Thiago SB yeah I know that’s what I’m wondering

[@Knoxie89]

IF you have to ask, you can't afford it! lol That being said. Small putting green systems go for 3-6k before base materials and labor. So i'm going to guess this was way up there in price.

[@wadewilson5296]

1.3 million

[@tylerwalker8223]

Thiago SB looking at the quality id assume 30-40 dollars per square foot

[@athens_1psvr31]

Give me 3 greens and I’m designing a playable 9. 👍🏾

[@tomg.6881]

So, the green is synthetic grass and the rest is natural grass. Yes?

[@Ikesturf]

Green and fringe/fairway is artificial.. the rest is natural.

[@reginaldinoenchillada3513]

So is it artificial turf or not?

[@maccaman1987]

Want to expand your business to Australia haha Id gladly do this for a job. I have the perfect front yard for this I've been wanting to do it for ages

[@Ikesturf]

I've had leads that way. Someone talking with me right now about a short course. One never knows!

[@maccaman1987]

I want to do something similar to this video but with a small lake next to it instead of the bunker. Ive already dug the lake out it all just needs to be spread and prepped around it for a nice putting turf haha. Want to just have the one green with 3 or 4 different tee locations. Would be awesome to get in contact by email or something to talk about how you do what you do.

[@Ikesturf]

@@maccaman1987 [e-mail] There is a lad I have chatted with from Australia via Instagram. He does turf work there. Maybe there's a way to help educate him.. if there's something there.

[@maccaman1987]

How do I get in contact with this guy? Haha. All the dirt is finally smoothed out and ready for a putting green. Any tips on the best place to find some decent synthetic realistic putting green that wont break the bank? Any way of me sending you a short drone clip of my setup to see what you think? Id love to have a green similar size to this and have multiple tee off spots using the one green but realistically id probably have a green maybe half that size

[@Rob-vn9sx]

Got my own personal par 3 course in my backyard built out of real grass

[@mattmotta859]

Now who is going to maintain it

[@codyg9025]

Does anyone know how much ?

[@theedexitvideo]

Ok I want one! I will start saving for retirement How much???

[@Ikesturf]

Thanks Carlo! It was enough.. you'll have to contact me to find out more. Cheers

[@DrERtv]

I am talking about 10 years from now...but still, $100K ? or less?

[@Ikesturf]

$100k++ and with inflation, I'm sure it will go up in 10 years :P There's lots of moving parts on a project this big, so it's important to have a strong plan to execute on to minimize costly changes.

I quote from the original posters comment "$100k++ and with inflation, I'm sure it will go up in 10 years :P There's lots of moving parts on a project this big, so it's important to have a strong plan to execute on to minimize costly changes."

[@jg1316]

Got to be honest, seems like kind of a waste. The guy already has a decent layout and with some creative land management, he could have seemingly done this all-natural. I could see doing something like this in the desert, but why in land that already has decent looking grass and natural terrain

[@natjenkins8505]

My guess is simply maintenance

[@tylerwalker8223]

James C it’s very difficult to maintain a grass greens there silver moss and worms and you have to cut it near daily the mowers are expensive you wouldn’t be able to use it year round and it would be a full time commitment to maintain it

[@jg1316]

@@tylerwalker8223 Obviously, but that is the technique. It is understandable if you build something where you have no natural landscape but if you build it when you already have a solid foundation, it seems kind of weird. It sounds more lazy than anything

[@natjenkins8505]

@@jg1316 the guy just wants to play rather than spend every waking hour maintaining it

[@jg1316]

@@natjenkins8505 That is a little dramatic, maybe a half hour a day if you are consistent and maybe some extra weekend duty once a month. Small price to pay to have a Par 3/practice area behind the house. If a guy is dumb enough to think a 100k synthetic green is going to make him good, he probably isn't that good anyways. I can't believe people buy into all this commercial hype about products improving performance. Just find a half decent green area, maintain it somewhat, and practice like a beast. People get to uppity about golf and ruin its simplicity

[@DanTuber]

Looked better when it was all natural grass.

[@chosen1one930]

You saying that's a 40 yard long tee box is the biggest lie ever, try 15 to 20 if that

[@dwreck5578]

Lol, he didnt say tee box was 40yds. He said the box plus pin position allows for target 80yds -120yds. Tee looks like 15yds so upfront tee to upfront pin = 80. Drop back 15yds on tee plus back pin = 120. Green could be approx 75' front to back to losely achieve that target range.
