Why is Mirage TourPutt Turf Different from conventional artificial turf?
The major difference between Mirage turf and other synthetic grass products begins with the manufacturing process. Our specially designed spring set turf fibers are manufactured to interlock, creating a realistic bent Grass look and feel, exactly like the “real bent grass” greens you love to play on.
What is the difference between Mirage TourPutt and Sand Filled Turf Systems?
Most sand-filled synthetic turf has straight fibers and they must be sand filled and periodically rolled with a heavy water-filled turf rolling device. Our turf fibers have been manufactured to “stand-up” naturally. Unlike other synthetic fibers, our fibers have been made with a dulled finish, rather than the customary shiny finish. This is what creates the natural, authentic looking green.
How Realistic Is Mirage Synthetic Turf?
Mirage Turf is so realistic, we have manufactured “mower and grain pattern marks” right in the turf product! Our new Mirage Tour-Putt amazingly requires no deep sand in-fill, and it putts at the same speed as PGA Tour greens. The Mirage TourPutt turf is the most realistic artificial bent-grass turf on the market.
Can I choose what my Artificial Green rolls on a Stimpmeter?
We deliver three variations of our turf systems.
12) Simulates a tournament green (Bent grass)
11) Simulates a country club green (Bent grass)
10) Simulates a municipal green (Bent grass)
Does the Mirage Turf hold up in outdoor environments?
Mirage Turf is assembled using the finest UV-treated polypropylene & nylon, water-resistant fibers. Our turf carries a 10 year limited warranty against excessive wear and fading, and resists normal rain, snow, wind, freeze and sun. Mirage Turf has been installed everywhere; from the freezing climates of Canada to the hot and dry deserts of Arizona, to rainy and humid areas such as Florida and North Carolina.
Do I have to maintain my Custom Putting Green?
Our putting surface is “hassle-free” unfortunately it is impossible for anything to be maintenance free. The Mirage no sand turf is as maintenance free as it gets, even when partially infill assisted and weighted. Our specially designed, interlocking spring set fibers help hold the infill in place, while stabilizing the root of the fiber. Even our infill-assisted/weighted greens are virtually maintenance free. Once installed, you do have to keep the leaves and dirt off, just like you would a real putting green. If you would like you can vacuum our amazing turf!
But, “so and so” says they have maintenance free turf?
Here’s a special note: Don’t be fooled by companies that state their turf is totally “maintenance free.” This is about as far from the truth as it gets. Unlike Mirage Turf, synthetic sand-filled greens require periodic sanding, top dressing, sweeping and water rolling. This adds thousands of dollars to the upkeep of their greens.
Why shouldn’t I install a real grass putting green?
Too many reasons to list here. Real putting surfaces are incredibly expensive to maintain and upkeep. Fertilizer, prep, sanding, rolling, burning and the list of cons goes on and on. Not to mention that a real green requires daily maintenance.
Can my synthetic green have breaks and undulations?
Absolutely! A Mirage Putting Green can be made to look just like real grass tour greens.
Can I choose and size or shape for Mirage Putting Green?
You bet! We can design your green to fit in any size area and it can be as big or small as you wish.
Can anyone install the Mirage Turf System?
No! Only certified and trained Mirage Dealers can install the Mirage Turf System.
Can I chip onto my Mirage Putting Green and get the feel of real grass?
Yes! We use special shock absorbing backing material, coupled with the spring action inter-locking fibers, makes our surface “check-up,” similar to most real grass greens. Our greens are as close as it gets to real grass greens. Just look at our customer list and we’re sure you’ll agree.
Mirage TourPutt even has developed a manufacturing process that bends the end of each individual blade of grass, JUST LIKE REAL BENT GRASS GREENS. There is nothing like it.
On large custom greens, will the seams split apart over time?
No! Mirage Putting Greens seams will not split. Our seams and our turf are glued down to our proprietary base. We do not suggest loose-laying our turf on rock or soil. When using our proprietary space-aged “under-basing” system, our turf is glued into place permanently.
-This process is unique to our company only, and is called our “FirmTrack Liquid Florathane System.”
