What a great video! Me and my friend are making it tonight. Thanks for the video. We need more smart people like you in this world.
Jack, glad to hear I inspired you to make you own, will be providing an update in the next month or so, testing out some hazard concepts and putting fun options now. Some take a while to perfect. Thanks for the feedback.
This is beautiful! Great craftsmanship and ingenuity. I may try something like this as I want to make a chipping/putting green relatively cheap.
Lefty, glad you like it and thanks for leaving a comment. I plan to post some videos on how to build several additions and hazards to this basic design soon.

Amazing video. I love how simple it is to build. Hopefully the boss, aka my wife lol, will let me buy and build it.
Adolfo, good luck. The whole family loves putting, including my wife. Look for upgrade videos coming soon to take your putting green to the next level. Thanks for the feedback.

Wow, thank you so much for this video and having the items in the description.
I was looking for a cost effective way to build a putting green that could be rolled up.
Where I started work, the one for rec activities is more of a hazard for the seniors.
cribbles glad you like the design. You might also want to checkout these upgrades: ua-cam.com/video/QW72XMt0a6o/v-deo.html
badass!!
How well has the carpet tape held up? Would you recommend using another type of adhesive instead?
Excellent!!.. Appreciate you sharing.. Probably one of the less expensive ones to make, but with top quality results." - Thanks Mike!!
Glad you liked it James, working on plans now for a series of holes using this basic design.
glad the video was helpful James, I'm currently working on a series of holes using this basic design. Plan to have these out soon.
Great idea
Glad you think so!
great vid....moving to a new place wit hig attic pleanty of room for my new putting green thanx for the info
Matt, Good luck with your putting project. Send me a picture when your done. Thanks for the comment.
+Mike Meyers will do!!!!
I got my material from Camrygolf 10ft x 15ft. Super low price and honestly the best rolling material out there. All the Pros have been using it.
Sham Gawd, thanks for the comment I'll have to check them out.
dude you are the man im about to build out the entire 2 car garage into my office / green / target #semiprosoon
Todd, thanks. Good luck on your project, let me know howit turns out. at 25X30 it will certainly be a site to behold.
Mike, great video. I'm building a 6'x8' green with 12 tiles and tape, from harbor freight $25 and green turf from Lowes $21 that looks like trunk carpet.
How is your green holding up? Would you do anything different?
Kurtis, My green is holding up great, thanks for asking. I have a role of turf I got from Costco they were selling during end of season sale plan to to make some more holes and obstacles and see how it compares. Plan to have these videos out soon.
Thank u
Rob Shearz, you're welcome
I only have room to create a 2 x14 grren for my hallway. Will these foam bumpers raise the green on both sides and skew the level of the putting surface? Thanks
not by much, the green lays pretty much flat.
Looks great thank you for the tips I’m actually making my own tomorrow about how much did u spend making this if you don’t mind me asking?
I believe I mentioned the costs in the video. How did your build go?
@@MakeItorBreakItNow good lol
@@MakeItorBreakItNow my dad owns an abandoned football field it a normal like high school foot ball deal but we removed all the grass so it’s just concrete and made a putting coarse with 20 levels using this technique thank you so much
@@ItsTJ1 wow, that's quite the endorsement. Thanks for sharing. Glad my putting video was so useful. Could you send me some pictures? Stay tuned for more putting green videos coming soon. We're working on some obstacle designs right now, just need to refine them a bit.

Hello.
I wanted to see how it folds when you want to put the mat away.
Thanks!
Sarah Patel, thanks for the suggestion. I'll see if I can take a picture, but it basically rolls up like a carpet.
Great video. Hoy many squares have you used?
Lautaro, two squares. Thanks for your question.
What is the material that you used to contour the green and make the holes?
Lucas, flat closed foam exercise tiles you can get at 5 and below.
Could you list all the materials in the videos bio so I know exactly what all I need to get because I am very interested in making this.
Ryan, thanks for your comment and suggestion. I added a materials list to the comments/bio section above.
Cool
glad you like it.
Nice
Drawing with azza, thanks. You might also like these two follow on videos where I made hazzards.ua-cam.com/video/QW72XMt0a6o/v-deo.html and this one with real sand and water ua-cam.com/video/hOoHM_0pnRw/v-deo.html
Where did you get the foam squares?
Tyler, COSTCO usually has the best prices, plus they run sales
Can I put the foam under the whole green, so there is no uphill slope
yes you can. Thanks for the suggestion.
Why did you attach a matt to the end where the holes are? doesn't that create a bump on your green?
xostolenheartox, the mat is to make room for the holes. If you are concerned about the bump you can use a box cutter to carve out a slope similar to what I did in this video. ua-cam.com/video/hOoHM_0pnRw/v-deo.html
What is the red thing you're using for the holes?
Tyler, its a red plastic lid off a nut container.
I went out and bought the same astroturf as you but I've noticed that the ball always rolls slightly to one side of the mat. I think this is due to the way the grains of the turf are facing (maybe not?). Do you have any suggestions on how to overcome this problem? I'm not expecting something perfect but it's pretty significant on a putt longer than a few feet.
Dan B, wow, that's interesting. That hasn't happened to us. It might have to do with how long the roll was sitting around on the floor at the store. You might try using a broom and see if you could coax the rug to stand up again, or it might do it itself after lying flat for a bit of time...
@@MakeItorBreakItNow Ah yeah you're probably right. I tried brushing it but didn't see much change. I'm considering soaking in water to see if that would loosen them up at all. I would love to hear other suggestions if you come up any.
@@danb6534 let think about it and get back to you. Thanks again for your comment. Maybe leave it outside in the sun for a day?
What do you recommend to take away little bumps from the carpet and divots from standing too long on the carpet?
Lucas, I don't seem to have that problem on mine and I've used it both on tile and carpet.
Sorry if I missed the length and width of this in the video but is like more or less a 2ft by 10ft build? Approximately how many foam tiles are underneath just to get an idea of how much to purchase. Thanks!
Johnny, the putting green is 4 ft X 10-12 ft. Its currently rolled up. I used 2 foam tiles where the holes were and strips from another to contour the length of the green, so 3-4 foam tiles depending on how fancy you want to be.
@@MakeItorBreakItNow OOOHH!!!! Gotcha! I thought you had the bottom filled with foam tiles and I had seen your video at least 5 times to try and see if I had missed something haha. Now it makes much more sense. Thank you!
Johnny, thanks for watching 5 times. I'll try to be clearer based on your feedback.
One more question. Can you tell me where you picked up your Astroturf for $.66 a square foot the cheapest I can find is $2.10 a square foot. Thanks
Home Depot is where I got mine. Costco also has a nice version I picked up for 50% off when it was on sale.
Thank you for the quick response, I checked both costco and home depot and the best I can find will cost about $100 for a 2 x15 foot piece, I will keep looking www.homedepot.com/p/GREENLINE-Putting-Green-Artificial-Synthetic-Lawn-Turf-Grass-Carpet-for-Outdoor-Landscape-15-ft-x-Custom-Length-GLPUTT15CTL/302419757
👍🏼 ⛳️
gracias
where can I find fake astro turf for 66 cents a square foot?
Home Depot
Mike Meyers I looked online but couldn't find it for 66 cents
I went directly to the store.
Mike Meyers ok, do you know exactly what it is called?
Vantage Ivy Green - THS
Do you know what the stimp is
Its around 3-5 mm.
Make It or Break It I meant the speed of the green, not the thickness of it
@@Rayoblanco10, the speed of the green surprisingly is very similar to most putting surfaces both real and artificial.
How much did you spend
Thanks for your question. I recall, I spent less than $30. For the additions listed in the comments section below (my two newer videos) were around $15 total. I have a dozen or so other ideas for obstacles all around $12 or less, which I plan to make future videos on soon.
This is all just one piece of AstroTurf correct? Not multiple pieces put together?
Hi Jacob, that is correct its all one piece. I've bought another piece and plan to build some expansions beyond the basic design which I plan to post soon.
Mike Meyers nice that's cool! So at home Depot they just cut whatever length you want?
Mike Meyers also do you find it rolls smooth, cuz I'm probably going to make this
yes, you buy it by the linear foot. The rolls are typically 8-10 ft long.
jacob, very smooth it works great.
Is it possible to make this deeper so the balls fall in farther?
Tony Yoo, sure just double or triple up on the foam padding. In fact I'm thinking about making an updated version that has the foam floor panels the entire length of the run. Thanks for your question.
@@MakeItorBreakItNow Where did you buy everything? Home Depot?
Also what was the total estimated cost?
@@tonyjyoo the cost breakdown is in the video. 2 ft X 2 ft foam squares can be bought in bulk cheaper or at 5 and below for around $2 each.
@@tonyjyoo I got the turf from Home Depot, but I have a new roll of astro carpet 6ftX9ft with better backing and smoother nap from Costco end of year sale really cheap for around $9.
What are the dimensions of this green?
4 ft by 12 ft, currently working on additions.
That’s not a dollar
Steve Trevor, sorry, I don't understand your comment. What's not a dollar?
@@MichealBacon , Thanks for the positive feedback, always appreciated.
