The pursuit of excellence in golf demands cutting-edge technology, both on the course and in your practice space. If you seek the highest standard of performance for your property, from Marin to San Jose, the key is world-class Bay Area putting green turf. We at SYNLawn are proud to announce our return as the Official Synthetic Surface Partner for Season 2 of TGL presented by SoFi, the most innovative team golf league in the world. This partnership is the ultimate validation of our engineering. When TGL needed a synthetic surface to flawlessly bridge the gap between virtual data and real-world short-game action, they rigorously evaluated over 100 brands. SYNLawn was the unequivocal choice, proving the unmatched realism and consistency of our golf turf.
The SYNLawn Difference: Validation on a Global Stage
The TGL GreenZone is a crucible where short-game skills are tested under immense pressure. The surface is required to integrate seamlessly with data-driven simulation while delivering authentic ball physics. This demanded years of rigorous testing and development by our team and TGL engineers to ensure the surface met the critical standards of touring professionals.
Our turf systems are engineered to support this “tech-infused” competition, guaranteeing perfect short-game play, natural ball bounce, and total fidelity with virtual tracking. By aligning with this next-generation league, SYNLawn reinforces its reputation as the innovative, high-performance provider for Bay Area golf greens.
Upgrading the Field: What’s New in GreenZone 2.0
The TGL venue, the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, underwent a strategic overhaul for Season 2, based directly on invaluable player feedback. We were proud to execute the synthetic surface installation, installing approximately 31,000 square feet of high-performance turf.
Key updates to enhance strategy and challenge include:
- A Larger Canvas: The putting surface is now one-third (38%) larger, increasing the total size to 5,270 sq ft. This offers the professionals more variety and strategic pin placements.
- Mound Restructuring: The previous 7-foot mound was lowered by 18 inches, resulting in more natural slopes and improving the flow of play.
- Bunker Excellence: The remaining two bunkers were enlarged by 50% and now feature our PermaEdge Bunker System with stacked construction, simulating challenging links hazards.
These adjustments confirm that our core SYNLawn products—trusted in Season 1—remain the gold standard for putting greens.
The Technical Roster: Products Engineered for Perfection
The installation features a complex layering of our advanced product lineup. We started with Precision Putt™, our flagship putting surface, covering 5,178 sq ft and installed to achieve a lightning-fast, tournament-ready Stimpmeter rating of 11.0. Surrounding the green is nearly 24,500 sq ft of SYNTipede 243, providing the durability and realistic feel needed for the fringe and fairway areas.
To truly simulate course conditions, we installed 1,510 sq ft of SYNBlue 949 to create a dense, true-to-life rough simulation that affects ball speed and spin on approach shots. For the hazards, our SYNSport White was used as the base for the bunkers, which are then filled with Augusta National white sand. Finally, our specialized Tee Strike product was installed for the practice bays, built to handle full swings and hold a standard tee.
Our GreensMaster certified installers meticulously manage every detail, ensuring the precision roll and performance of these putting green turf systems. This partnership provides unmatched product validation; if it performs under competitive fire, it’s the ideal choice for your home Bay Area golf turf.

SYNLawn Golf Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the most critical maintenance requirement for a residential SYNLawn golf green? The maintenance is extremely low, eliminating the need for watering, mowing, or fertilizing. The most critical, yet simple, requirement is periodic debris removal using a leaf blower and occasionally using a stiff-bristled push broom or power brush to ensure the infill is distributed evenly and the fibers remain standing upright for optimal ball roll.
2. Is it possible to integrate bunkers, chipping pads, and multiple hole locations into a small backyard? Yes. Our GreensMaster certified installers specialize in custom design, maximizing the use of space. We can integrate specialized chipping turf, small but challenging bunkers using the PermaEdge system, and multiple tiers or hole locations into surprisingly compact areas, creating a comprehensive practice facility tailored to your needs.
3. Does SYNLawn offer a warranty on its putting green turf in the Bay Area? Absolutely. We offer an industry-leading warranty against things like UV degradation and material defects. Our quality is backed by the strongest manufacturer support in the industry, giving you peace of mind.
4. How does the all-weather performance of SYNLawn compare to natural grass in the Bay Area’s varied microclimates? SYNLawn offers year-round consistency, regardless of local weather. Our superior drainage ensures the green is playable immediately after rain, and our UV-protected materials remain vibrant and perform identically in coastal fog or inland heat. This eliminates the seasonal inconsistencies and maintenance demands of natural grass.
